Title: Designer grapes Written by: duddy on Oct 19, 2014 (https://biology-forums.com/gallery/47/4_19_10_14_7_12_52.jpeg) (https://biology-forums.com/index.php?action=gallery;sa=view;id=19198) Witches finger grapes are custom made grapes that have a shape of their own. They are from the Californian breeding program International Fruit Genetics (IFG). Although it sounds like it could be GMO, it’s not - they are made through the hybridisation process of taking pollen from one plant and brushing it onto another plant. There are quite a number of these varieties now, in different colours as well. What's really interesting is that IFG also has a few other unusual varieties such as ‘cotton candy’, which when ripe acquires the taste of cotton candy – it’s very unusual, but also delicious. |
