Aussies develop pina-colada pineapple

I don't normally like people messing around with mother nature too much but I thought this worth punting. Australian researchers are working on a new breed of pineapple - one that is not only sweet and juicy but which has the added tropical taste of coconut.

Two years ago, scientists in Queensland, which has a warm climate and produces various tropical fruits, developed Australia's first home-grown pineapple, called the Australian Jubilee. Most Australian pineapples are Hawaiian-bred varieties. Queensland produces more than 80,000 tons of pineapples a year butthe government has been looking to create less costly and tastier varieties to compete with cheaper imports.
