SBS: A green and red-striped tomato is the latest “designer” food set to hit the supermarket shelves in Britain. The cherry-sized fruit was created in response to increased demand for novelty produce, said Marks & Spencer. Called the tiger tomato, it has magenta-coloured flesh and is slightly sweeter than standard varieties. The tomatoes were grown in Lancashire and the Isle of Wight.
M&S is also launching an even sweeter-tasting variety called the “strawmato” which it says goes well with melted chocolate. Tiger tomatoes cost STG1.99 (A$4.80) for 275g.
