Attack of the Conjoined Produce

What's better than one average strawberry?

How about two ripe, juicy berries fused together to make one giant, Siamese strawberry? Or perhaps you were looking for young bananas in love, mutant melons or carrots that can tango.

Slashfood's sister site Urlesque scoured the Web and found an array of conjoined fruits and vegetables, from spooning bananas to two-eared corn.


In humans, conjoined twins are extremely rare, thought to occur only once in every 50,000 to 200,000 births, according to different estimates. They're sometimes called Siamese twins after the world's most famous set of human conjoined twins, Chang and Eng Bunker, who were joined at the torso and lived in Siam (now Thailand).

Thankfully, conjoined fruits and veggies seem to be much more common.
