I had to dig deep this week...finding a unique and funny story from around the world. This one I just shook my head.
Asda, one of the UKs largest supermarket chains (and is part of the Walmart group), is selling green grapes that it says taste like 'candy floss'. The supermarket has been experimenting in recent years with varieties of fruit known for sweet flavors. These ones come from Spain, and they say are the result of years of meticulous farming.
"We work with fruit growers around the world to source the new varieties of fruit like these," Alberto Goldbacher, the store's fruit procurement manager said in a recent blog post.
"People work a lifetime to perfect these varieties. They naturally cross one flavour of grape with another, using soft brushes like the ones you use for make-up to cross the pollen from one plant to another."
"We’ve got a few different examples in stores at the moment, including our really popular candy gloss grapes, with a gorgeous sweet vanilla taste, and juicy Grower's Selection king plums, which have an incredible bubblegum flavour and a lovely red flesh."
And apparently people love them...What's next? Beef that tastes like chicken?
