Ever got bored with the run of the mill green grocer’s fruit selection?
I was delighted to see that there are a group of ‘shaped fruit’ fans out there!
Looking out for the shapely fruit is a lot of fun!
Supposedly, the square shape makes the melons easier to stack and store. Of course the shaped watermelon come at a higher price. They are more than double the price of normal ones.
- Squared Fruit
Not content with squared watermelon, you could always try the fruit that comes in triangles.
- A triangular melon
These shaped watermelons are famous in the Zentsuji region in Kagawa, Shikoku, Japan. The farmers in this region found a way to grow cubic watermelons by growing the fruit in glass boxes and letting them naturally assume the shape of the receptacle.
- This would be nice for valentines day!
I wonder what the shaped watermelons taste like?
Do cubic watermelons have seeds?
For the higher price you would expect that they were seedless!
Did you know that watermelon rind is edible?
I didn’t but I am not sure I would eat it whatever shape if came in….. what about you?
Would you eat the rind of watermelon?
Ah – you have to smile at the crazy ways that fruit can be changed!
- Just smile
Have you ever tasted a shaped watermelon?

http://kimonobox.com/2009/10/shaped-watermelon-japan/ I wonder what the next shape will be. And for that price they had better be seedless. another thing if you want your watermelon sweeter when you eat it , sprinkle salt on it.
£100 ?!? Crazy fools – http://bit.ly/tb9Jj
