Say it with a courgette this Valentine's Day! Grow heart-shaped veggies for your lover as romantic moulds go on sale
People can now buy their weight-watching partners a healthy alternative to Valentine's Day chocolates - heart shaped vegetable moulds.
The quirky contraption can slot over a variety of crops while they are on the stalk and makes them grow into the novel shape.
It can be used on many fruits and vegetables including cucumbers, tomatoes, squashes, lemons, mandarins, oranges, aubergines, and courgettes.
When they are picked from the vine and chopped up each cross-section will have the appearance of a perfect heart.
It is a great way to make salads, sandwiches and pizza toppings look more exciting.
The moulds come in two sizes, eight inches and three inches long, and can be slotted over a crop in the early stages of its growth.
When the fruit or vegetable is ripe and ready to eat, the gadget can be simply pulled off and the heart shape will be revealed.
The moulds are being sold by Suttons Seeds in Devon, who also claim it is a fun way to encourage children to eat healthier food.
