If you love candy more than you love fruits, you may be in luck!
Fruit breeders in California have come up with an ingenious new grape which tastes just like cotton candy and is all natural and healthy! Sounds like the best of both worlds to us! Apparently, the grapes look exactly like non-cotton candy flavoured grapes and don’t smell any different either, but once you bite into one, you get a rush of cotton candy flavour!
Turns out that the sour flavour of grapes is something that has been developed over the years by breeding the plant to make it easier to ship around the world. Like there are a whole variety of apples from which you can choose, these farmers are trying to bring the same choices to grapes!
The cotton candy flavoured grapes were actually made by cross breeding two different types of grapes making the cotton candy flavoured ones hybrids. They’ve even created other grapes which taste like strawberries, pineapples or mangoes! The hybrid grapes have very little sourness so there’s nothing to get in the way of the sweetness!
Would you love fruit more if they tasted like your favourite candy?
