Behold, the Buddha Pear
For the latest installment of our unintended series on genetically engineered fruit that looks like stuff, Xanga team member Janet tipped us off on some pears being grown in the Hebei province of eastern China in the shape of a Buddha. Much like the square and heart-shaped watermelons we've discussed on IRLF, these craft fruits were a labor of love, taking a full six years to perfect.
Cute, ain't it?

these are super cool. but they arent genetically engineered, as you said in the post. they grow the pears in plastic Buddha molds.

much more intricate than the box watermelon. still, is that really worth it?...
they're so cute!
ha! awesome! but how do they get them like that. do they put each fruit in the mold before its fully ripe? seems like a lot of work. but it is cool.
Has anyone seen the mickey mouse shaped cucumbers?
