Breeding is an interesting science that allows you to get new unusual, but at the same time delicious varieties of fruits. Below is a list of the most successful crosses that did not leave indifferent both the breeders themselves and the amateur gardeners.
Going to the store for groceries, everything in general on the shelves manages to find a kind of curiosity that you never dreamed of before. Who would have thought of this, because some time ago for most people bananas were the most exotic.
Romanesco cabbage
This is an unusual blend of traditional broccoli and cauliflower. Approximately ten years ago, this species was bred by breeders in Italy, not so long ago it reached Russia.
Remarkably, these fruits do not have the smell characteristic of this culture. Inflorescences, delicate in taste, are great for stewing and cooking.
I would like to pay special attention to the appearance of Romanesco. The cylindrical fruit with pointed leaves stands out strongly from the rest of the plants on the site.
Purple potatoes
Scientists from Colorado, which is located in the United States of America, have developed an unusual root crop. Its uniqueness lies in its rich purple color. Anthocyanins are responsible for this in the root crop.
It is noteworthy that when boiling or frying, the potatoes do not change color and everything looks just as impressive and positive.
Pluot
In simple terms, it is a mixture of apricot and plum. Externally, the color of the ploot varies from green to deep burgundy, and the fragrant pulp inside has a pale pink color.
If we talk specifically about the taste of the fruit, then it is much brighter and richer than that of its original counterparts. The pluot is very juicy and incredibly sweet.
Watermelon radish
This is a common radish, just the opposite. It has a red, firm flesh on the inside and white skin on the outside. All the same bitterness is present here, which is characteristic of the usual variety.
Moreover, watermelon radish loses to the traditional one in its juiciness. All this is due to the fact that the new variety is very dense.
