Title: OJ with pea proteins.
Post by: JoeReal on August 05, 2019, 03:19:36 PM

Orange juice with pea proteins may not be a bad idea, a healthier but a better tasting drink too!

Good info Joe. I guess that I am old school and too hard headed to change but I like my OJ straight from the orange. I am however glad that someone is realizing that hlb is here to stay and we might as well counteract the effects until a wY is found to destroy it.....that might be a long time away.  Good post.

Southern Gardens a division of US Sugar, is also doing much the same thing using a spinach gene in Florida, and has for the last several years ran a number of acres of a spinach GMO citrus tree in conjunction with EPA.
