Now I won't lie when I first saw these delectable white strawberries I thought..GENETICALLY MODIFIED ORGANISM. My mind immediately envisioned a world where all we would consume is the tomatoes that tasted like fish or the Grapple (grape flavored apples that they sell in most grocery stores btw). While the long-term effects of GMO's are yet to be seen I guess its ok to see some new products come on the market. The pineberry looks like a strawberry (slightly smaller) and taste most like a pineapple. I want some!!!
"Discovered wild in South America and rescued from extinction by Dutch farmers, they can now be bought in Waitrose. They are smaller than most commercially grown strawberries, measuring between 15 and 23mm across - slightly less than an inch. According to Waitrose, they can be used as an alternative to their red counterparts in a range of recipes and desserts. They join other unusual recently introduced fruits such as the strasberry, which looks like a cross between a strawberry and a raspberry. Grown in glasshouses, the pineberry - as they have been dubbed for the British market - starts off green, gradually turning paler as it ripens."
