Oddbean new post about login | logout Very expensive fruit including square watermelons is an Asian thing; it’s usually bought as a gift. With the large Asian population in Vancouver and holiday coming up, I’m not surprised!
🤯 what am I doing? At those prices All of my market garden activities should be focused on polygon fruit 😅
It’s all done with plastic molds! You can also do it with apples, pears, etc. But you don’t have to make them special shapes. The giant markup is also for very high quality normally shaped fruit. Completely blemish free, uniform size, perfect coloring, etc. If you want a good money maker, try growing absolutely perfect peaches. Peaches are a longevity symbol and a box of expensive perfect peaches is a good gift for one’s parents.
