‘White strawberry’ that tastes like pineapple to go on sale
30th March 2010
The pineberry is white and covered in red pips and has the same genetic make-up as the common strawberry but with a flavour and ”extraordinary” smell closer to that of the pineapple, Waitrose said.
The pineberry originated in South America as a wild variety of strawberry but was threatened with extinction until seven years ago when Dutch farmers began growing it commercially, according to the retailer.
This would make a great heraldic charge.
I sense a new liqueur on the horizon.
