A Chinese company makes ingenious moulds to grow fruit and veg into bizarre shapes - including little Buddha pears.
Based in Suzhou, Jiangsu, Fruit Mould Co. are the firm behind the crazy contraptions and have been commissioned worldwide to help people make odd-shaped produce. Pictured are heart-shaped watermelons
One of the moulds offered by the company is skull-shaped, allowing customers to create ghoulish pumpkin skulls for Halloween.
The moulds work by farmers placing them over the stems of growing produce and then allowing the fruit and veg to slowly fill them as they develop. Pictured right is a watermelon cube made using the mould in the left image
The company claims 'any kind of fruit can be shaped by the moulds'. Pictured is a pair of apples shaped into cubes
The company produces the shapes in Suzhou, Jiangsu, eastern China, by placing moulds over the stems of budding fruits and vegetables.
The company says on its website that strangely shaping food can 'add more value' to items as well as drawing more attention to them
Custom shape designs for produce can be submitted through the firm's website
