Pineberry, a white strawberry to the taste of pineapple.
A new variety of strawberry is available on Waitrose supermarkets in Great Britain called Pineberries. She combines the shape and texture of a strawberry with a flavour and smell closer to that of a pineapple.
They have been discovered in South Amarica and rescued from extinction by Dutch farmers.
Smaller than others strawberries, and measuring between 15 and 23 mm across, they are slightly less than an inch. They started off green, gradually turning paler as they ripen.
The price is £ 2.99 for a 125 grams punnet and will be on sale for five weeks.
