Pineberry to Make Debut in U.K. Stores


I am not sure if I am scared or excited.  I would have to read more about these little guys, but at this moment I am leaning towards scared AND enticed.

From the linked article :

Cross-breeding fruit to create new varieties is a $100 million business in the U.S., ABC News reported. 

About seven years ago the pineberry was taken from its native South America and grown commercially in glasshouses by the dutch, ABC reported. Like strawberries, they’re green until they ripen, but instead of turning a deep, juicy red, these fruits turn white, like they’ve been attacked byBunnicula. 

Pineberries sell for about $4.50 for a 4.5 ounce bag until April 13, after which the price will be hiked up to about $6.00.

So they’re interesting, and pricey now, and likely to come down in price later…I dunno. I guess you can do all sorts of cross breeding, but unless the taste is unique, it’s not worth it…. my hope is that there is some taste uniqueness here…
