Today's guest is Dr. Steven Lang, Vice President of Science and Technology for cultured chocolate company, California Cultured. Steve and his team are designing your favorite chocolate products and making them directly from cocoa cells rather than growing the entire tree. Yes, designing and making real cocoa powder directly from the plant cells of the cocoa tree, virtually no tree needed. Steve has worked in many different industries, first in making biopharmaceuticals, then making cultivated meat, and now designing cocoa from the cell up. We talk about what it's like to be a biologist in today's food world and why making drugs makes for better food production.
