Description
The alpine strawberry White Soul - Fragaria vesca is a variety that yields creamy white berries that have a tropical aroma and a pineapple like flavour. Alpine strawberries are hardy perennial plants that will flower and fruit from late spring until the first frosts. It’s also an early-fruiting variety – the first strawberries may develop as quickly as 3 months after sowing. They make a joyous addition to
pastries but are also popular in their raw state – young and old alike will love the sweetness and heady aroma of these strawberries, which fill any room with a beautiful fragrance.

The juice of alpine strawberries can be applied to the skin to help eliminate wrinkles, apparently!
How to eat
Alpine strawberries can be cooked and used in jams, tarts and other sweet treats. But, in my opinion, the best way to experience their delicious flavour and scent is to grow them in your garden and eat them fresh, straight from plant to mouth.
