'Strawmato' set to hit shops soon

You'll have to pay close attention when shopping for fruit and veg in the future, as tomatoes that look like strawberries will be on sale soon.

The super-sweet fruit, nicknamed a 'strawmato', is being developed at a top secret location in the UK.

Experts say the new tomato is so tasty is can be eaten in salads, as a snack on its own or even dipped in chocolate for an extra special treat!

It's hoped the new pointy-shaped fruit will be a hit with children.

Other new varieties in development include the sweet stripy red and green 'zebra tomato', and the unevenly shaped 'ugly tomato', which experts hope will be the tastiest tomato ever.
