Ok, so it doesn’t have the same ring to it as the Beatles classic, although this summer they could be a hit with the British public who will have access to this South American fruit from today.
The pineberry is said to combine the shape and texture of a strawberry with a flavour and smell closer to that of a pineapple.
Grown in glasshouses, they start off green and gradually grow paler as they ripen, the opposite to the strawberry.
Discovered wild in South America and rescued from extinction by Dutch farmers, they can now be bought in Waitrose.
The supermarket will sell pineberries in 45 stores across the UK for the next five weeks while they are in season.
