The other day at the grocery store, my cohort and I were curious about two new items we noticed - the Pluot and the Aprium. so we picked up a Pluot (Plum with a dash of Apricot) and tried it. Turns out pluots are really good!
Before I continued to eat these strange fruit (also called Dinosaur Eggs apparently) I wanted to find out if they were dreamed up in a lab somewhere…. But my research seems to indicate they are the product of a long period of carefuly natural hybridization, and not a forced genetic mash-up in a test tube. Actually, I was surprised to find out that the Hawaii Papaya that I did a project on in college is the only GM fruit on the market!
