Though some of you did not believe us when we told you about the GRAPPLE.. well... here is the website!

I'm telling you, it is soooo bizarre.

Truly:



Yes, that is the "Grapple Guy".  And I'm pretty certain that he's actually a fuji apple about to take a bath in grape flavoring !! Yum!!!  Go ahead.  Click on the swimming apple for more info!


Oh... by the way, don't think that's the end of my genetically modified/ hybrid/ neat-o fruit section...oh.. no!!!

Look what else I found

Our friends at Zaiger's Genetics have been quite busy over there in California-land!

From one of my favorite sources, wikipedia:

Zaiger's Genetics holds the following trademarks:

  • Aprium — a patented hybrid of apricot and plum
  • Nectaplum — a hybrid of nectarine and plum
  • Nectarcot — a hybrid of nectarine and apricot
  • Peacotum — a hybrid of peach, apricot and plum
  • Pluot — a patented hybrid of plum and apricot

When I did some more research on the internet on hybrid fruits, I actually found it pretty interesting!  The term genetically modified = scary.  Hybrid = not so scary.  I think.  Anyhow.. check out these peaches!!  Four different types.. and, if you click on the picture, you'll be taken to a reallllly neat website!



Now, don't you go and think that just because you buy your food at Gourment Garage, or Wild Oats, Whole Foods, or Trader Joe's, that your fruits and vegetables have not been touched by these changes.. just educate yourself, and enjoy!! ( I mean, one can only hope that they've made sure the peaches aren't too har or mealy, right?)

xo! have a great halloweenie!!!!  We'll be at Santos for Jordan's party after wandering around Lincoln Road, wheeee!!


BBBBBBBBOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!
