Hybrid fruits are becoming more and more popular. They tease us with their unusual looks and weird names, but they are actually very natural. These fruits aren’t genetically modified, but simply created by using traditional pollinating techniques between two varieties of the same species. This also happens in nature very often. This way you can have the best characteristics of both fruits and a unique taste to boot! Let’s look at some of the best and newest hybrid fruits:
Pluot
A
Plumcot
This is also a mix between plums and apricots in different percentages. This is a first generation hybrid which was replaced by the pluot due to difficulties in transport and harvesting.
Pluerry
A combination between sweet cherries and plums.
Blood Lime
There are other blood fruits besides blood oranges. This mix between lime and red finger lime makes it sweeter than a traditional lime, but the inside looks like a blood orange.
Limequat
A mix of lime and kumquat makes a miniature orange with edible greenish skin. Often used in jams.
