Moulded Fruits Are New Chinese Craze

A Chinese company called Fruit Mould has come up with an innovative idea of creating kind plastic molds that transform regular fruits and vegetables into wacky and weird shapes that you've never seen before – square watermelons, heart shaped cucumbers and Buddha shaped pears. While the fruit is still young, farmers encase them in a clear plastic mold, which the fruit eventually grows into and takes the shape. These quirky shaped fruits are now popping all over in supermarkets. Fruit Mould also ships their plastic devices across the globe, so Buddha-shaped pears and star-shaped cucumbers can be grown all over the world.
