- After successfully launching the first CRISPR food in North America, Pairwise is now licensing the leafy greens to the global agriculture company to carry its first consumer product forward at scale
Durham, N.C., (May 28, 2024) – Pairwise, a company pioneering genetics-based innovation in food and agriculture, launched the first CRISPR food in North America last year – its leafy greens blend, edited with CRISPR for improved flavor. Starting this month, as the next phase of commercialization, Pairwise has entered into an exclusive product licensing agreement with Bayer to further develop and sell the products at scale.
With higher nutrition compared to lettuce, the leafy greens are a mixture of multi-use mustard green varieties that Pairwise edited using the company’s proprietary Fulcrum™ Platform. By dialing down the wasabi-like flavor of the raw leaves, Pairwise created a new product for consumers who prefer a less-pungent taste but still want the nutrition of fresh mustard greens.
