So Unusual .... Pineberries



So Unusual ....
Pineberries are actually the oldest strawberry variety.

Originally strawberries were white in South America and red in North America (known as scarlets). 
Spontaneous crossings between the Chilean white strawberry and the North American scarlets produced the common strawberry varieties we have today.
Pineberries are much smaller than the strawberries we see today. 

What makes the pineberry appearance so distinct is their white flesh which is studded with red seeds. 
The aroma and flavor of pineberries is pineapple flavor.
The pineberry is not the only specialty strawberry but adds a new fruit into one's diet.
