Pineberry
A new summer berry -
pineberry looks like a white strawberry but tastes like a pineapple.
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. They are grown in glasshouses, turning from green to white and are ripe when the seeds turn dark red.
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.
