Evolution gets a helping hand

Is it a strawberry, or is it a pineapple? No it is an pineberry. The britisch supermarket Waitrose sells these white strawberries with pineapple taste.


The spokeswoman of Waitrose expects that this fruit, in a short period of time, will be found in a lot of people’s home. She thinks it will make desserts and fruit salads look special and give them a refreshing taste. The Pineberry originally comes from Southern America. Foodjournalist Bob Grandlee wrote in the Britisch newspaper: “The pineberry smells like a strawberry but tastes like water with sweetener, it is awfull!”.

I would like to taste this fruit if I am honest. I think it is cool that people try to change existing product and make new ones out of them. If this fruit is a success? No I do not think it is, but if people keep trying I eventually will be.
