As concerns over genetically modified organisms grow all over the world and many companies are trying to steer away from them, those against this practice will find a further reason to do so, as the recent pictures and information about the biggest strawberry of 2015 grown in Japan makes for a terrifying story!
However, mutations can occur for different reasons such as frost damage - in this case, multiple fruits fused together to make a single strawberry.
The Guinness World Records are awarded to just about anyone or anything that's the most impressive of its kind in the world, and that has included categories like the spiciest pepper and even the tallest dog in the world - and the biggest strawberry of 2015, a record that had remained the same for more than three decades.
In fact, the biggest strawberry of 2015 isn't the only record related to this red fruit, as World Record Academy reports; in 2013, Guinness recognized the most strawberries dipped in chocolate in a total of one minute, namely 59, a feat achieved by Oxfordshire, UK, resident on that year's October 29.
According to The Telegraph, the biggest strawberry of 2015 was grown by Japanese farmer Koji Nakao in Fukuoka, Japan, and upon seeing its size after harvesting he quickly contacted Guinness to find out whether it had broken some sort of world record - and it turned out that was the case!
The biggest strawberry of 2015 weighs 250 grams, is about 8cm high and 12cm long, with a circumference of 25 to 30 cm - and it broke the 32 year-old record of the largest and heaviest fruit of its kind, after a 1983 one from Kent, UK.
According to Island Crisis, after the biggest strawberry of 2015 made international news over the world record and even became something of a "celebrity" in Japan, its owner, Mr. Nakao, gave it to his daughter so she'd be the very first person to taste the fruit, saying it was delicious!
