I am neutral as I have no idea about this but what was in the linked article, but in the linked article, they claim that they have a process for removing the natural “biopesticides” that result in it tasting so awful.
Not super hot on replacing food crops for what's a raw material for frying oil, cattle feed and maybe protein bars, to be frank. It was kind of a bad thing in sci fi media when working class people were living off that kind of stuff rather than proper meals.
