About this episode

This episode discusses a novel edible coating for strawberries that extends their freshness and explores the importance of being open to unconventional ideas.

Some discoveries make perfect sense. Others sound like someone lost a dare in a lab. This one starts with strawberries, squid shells, and pomegranate peels and somehow ends with fruit that lasts twice as long. Researchers created an edible coating that helps strawberries stay fresh longer without changing how they look, smell, or taste. It’s strange, creative, and surprisingly practical. But maybe that’s the bigger point. What do we miss when we dismiss something too quickly just because it sounds unusual? Scripture (NIV): Isaiah 55:8 – “For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways,” declares the Lord. Reflection Questions: What’s something you’ve written off too quickly because it seemed too strange to be useful? Could God be inviting you to stay open to wisdom that doesn’t arrive the way you expected? 👉 Join the conversation on the IOM FB Page: We'd love to hear your thoughts.
