The White Strawberry

They’re white pearl strawberries, which have gone on sale in Marks & Spencer in what is thought to be a first for British supermarkets. The variety is just as sweet as the traditional red fruit, says The Times, but has “an aroma of pineapple and notes of vanilla”. They were created in Japan by combining white berries with normal strawberries. There’s just one problem, says one commenter: “How do you know when they are ripe?”

I don’t fancy them really, you’ve got to sort of ask yourself……why?

They don’t look particularly attractive, nothing better than a fresh, red, English strawberry in season

There are a lot of these slightly freaky fruit and veg about, candy beetroot, candy floss grapes and they’re fun for a novelty

Candy beetroot looks good in salad, I’m going to try to grow some this year
