Pic by Si Barber ? 07739 472 922 A Farmer has developed an onion so sweet that it more closely resembles an apple in both taste and texture. Robert Oldershaw who farms in the fens of Linconshire has spent several years developing the ?Supasweet? which he hopes will ultimately find a prominent place in the nations fruit-bowl along side the more traditional apples and bananas. By careful control of factors such as soil type and sunlight the Supasweet has a much lower pungency than the traditional onion which makes it more palatable to the eater. Mr Oldershaw has already sold most of this years crop to a UK supermarket and plans to increase production for this time next year. More text available.
