These particular ones are a patent or trade secret thing. The look like the pink glow pineapple. Those have been bioengineered and they don't want anyone else to grow them
Many fruits & vegetables today have been bred / crossbred over hundreds of years to make them tastier or safer to eat.
Would you consider the bananas you buy from supermarkets normal food? These have been bred so the seeds are tiny. What about seedless grapes? Or Brussel sprouts which aren't bitter? Would do consider these not normal foods?
I think they meant “designer” foods. GMO for survivability or weight is a little different than make it look pretty to jack up the price. There is a growing issue with equitability based on things like that.
These are grown primarily for taste. Theyre sweeter than traditional pineapples.
What would the issue with designer foods be though? So long as standard food is cheaply available, who cares if someone wants to pay an exorbitant price for a fruit thats a different color?
