A new fruit has landed on shelves in Marks & Spencer Foodhalls
As many people vow to eat more fruits and vegetables this year, Marks & Spencer has added a new fresh product to its range.
Shoppers can now pick up its Perfectly Ripe Red Kiwi, which is red and green inside the fruit and has a sweeter flavour.
This is not the first unique fruit to hit M&S shelves, as Limelons and Kissabel apples recently delighted fans in stores.
The retailer posted about the new product on Instagram. It read: "New in the M&S Foodhall - freshen up your fruit bowl.
The fruit has a unique taste and appearance

"If you loved our Limelons and were crazy for our Kissabel apples, just wait until you meet our newest funky fruit obsession.
"Boasting a vibrant blushing red middle and tangy-sweet flavour, our Red Flesh Kiwis combine the signature zing of a classic kiwi with the delicate sweetness of ripe strawberries.
"Making their debut in our Foodhalls now, they’re a seriously fun feast for all the senses."
The kiwis are sweeter than other varieties and shoppers can find them in stores and on Ocado now.
Customers showed their excitement about trying the product as the post was quickly inundated with 'likes' and comments.
One shopper said: "Oh wow, I need to try this", while another fondly added, "imagine chomping on these bad boys".
A third M&S customer tagged their loved one and said: "I’ll look out for these for you next time I go."
Other unusual fruits caught the attention of shoppers last year when M&S launched the Orange Candy Melon Perfectly Ripe and Limelon.

The Limelons made a comeback last summer while the Orange Candy Melons were introduced as a new addition.
It was described as a mix between a honeydew and a cantaloupe melon, promising an "intensely sweet and refreshing" taste. Commenting at the time, one excited Facebook user said: "I need to try this."
The Limelons are described as a "deliciously refreshing and tangy juicy melon with a zesty touch of lime - perfect for snacking on or serving with yoghurt for breakfast".
