Purple 'super tomato' that can fight against cancer
It looks like a cross between an orange and a black pudding, but this genetically modified purple 'super tomato' could be the latest weapon in the fight against cancer. The fruit, which tastes and smells like a normal red tomato, has been given two genes from a snapdragon flower that produce the dark colour. The distinctive hue is created by antioxidant pigments that protect against diseases including cancer, heart problems and diabetes.
