In search for a healthier and tastier version of chocolate and strawberries, scientists have made for the first time a serious search into the two products’ genetic code hoping to find some clues that would lead to the improving of both taste and quality. Two teams of international scientists were assembled, the chocolate team and the strawberry team.

Both teams published what they discovered in the journal Nature Genetics.The chocolate team led by French scientists analyzed the DNA of the a tree, Theobroma cacao which makes the finest chocolate in the world while the strawberry team, led by the University of Florida analyzed the genome of the woodland strawberry which represents a wild variety of the fruit.
