How It Changed
Earlier it didn't look the same as it does today. Fruits and vegetables look so attractive but this is not how it actually looked before.
In modern times we have the human civilization totally changing the shape of the crops produce.
The human contact has changed them genetically! This is so surprising, what actually happened to the simplest things that we eat.Technological Effect
There have been researches about fruits and veggies that they looked different than what it looked like before. Our ancestors might not even recognize our eatables today.
It's appearance have also changed over the years which is quite surprising.
With the evolution of humans, the fruits and vegetables have also transformed.About twelve hundred years ago since the birth of farming, the crop cultivators have been trying new ways to improve the crops.
From selective breeding to genetically modifying plants, which made some of the fruits and vegetables totally transform.Introduction of GMOs
The transformation or the genetic modification of foods began in the 1980's. This is when researchers discovered that specific pieces of DNA can be transferred from one organism to another.
The health industry developed a focus on Non-GMOs, the best part is that there is no fear of consuming genetically modified foods.
Without this, we wouldn’t have access to eat most of the fruits and vegetables that we have at present.Genetically Modified is good.
The food derived from GMOs doesn't bear any great risk to human health but every such food needs to be tested before being introduced, according to researchers.
A specific crop can be grown in an area where it would not naturally grow and thereby it helps to increase the resources to feed the world.

So, now we are aware what exactly is the reason behind the transformation and how the human civilization has witnessed this.
