They Made a New Fruit

Farmers in California have invented/discovered the Mango Nectarine, a mango-nectarine hybrid that also happens to look like a granny smith tomato and taste like a plum. “The skin itself is thick, and there’s a buttock-type crack running from the bottom to the top of the fruit on only one side,” explains Robert Sietsema of the Village Voice. “When you bite into it, the flesh is almost orange, fairly firm, and quite sweet. Yes, it does taste something like a combination of plum and mango flavors.” Plangterine? Mangterum? Buzzfeed’s going with Nectango, which isn’t bad. The fruit is apparently available at Citarella stores in New York if anyone wants to report back.
