Strawberry Hearts for Valentines Day

heart-strawberry.jpg
If you've been reading this blog for a few years you may have remembered a post I wrote on Vegiforms, styling veggies with plastic moulds as they grow. Well...one young Aussie has taken it to the next level and is now producing strawberries shaped as hearts...that will be harvested just in time for Valentine's Day.

The 22-year old engineering graduate from Melbourne has teamed up his invention with a Tasmanian strawberry farm and plans to have these out within the next 3 weeks. Could this be the ultimate gift idea for Valentines?

However, in the true essence of Valentine's they will be suitably priced at $2 each. For the frugal romantics, buying a punnet of strawberries and some dipping chocolate may prove a little cheaper.

This puzzles me. Lots of strawberries grow like this naturally. He could go strawberry picking and set aside the heart shaped ones without going to any further trouble. Will people really want to pay extra for them? Do they taste nice?

Cool! I have some friends who are really into creating bento boxes for their kids (the Japanese style lunchboxes) They would love this! They have special molds for eggs that hardboil them in special shapes, too!

I like to cut red peppers into heart shapes on Valentines day and put them inside an omlette.



Who's responsible for this...?
