Stem Strawberries are In!

It’s that time of the year! The first batch of stem strawberries is in and will be available during the next few weeks until Valentine’s Day! Stem strawberries are becoming increasingly popular in more drinks and dishes, so with Valentine’s Day approaching, here is what is needed to know for this strawberry season!

Stem Strawberry

Stem Strawberries are also known as pineberries or white strawberries. This is due to the fruit having a paler appearance than standard strawberries. They are large in size, have red seeds, and their conical shape is consistent. These strawberries are a hybrid between the classic North American strawberry and a wild South American variety, originally developed during the 18th century, in hopes to find a strawberry that could withstand different climates. They have a sweet, sometimes citrus-like taste, and are typically used in desserts or as garnishes for some extra decoration. Some popular desserts stem strawberries are seen in include tarts, cakes, and mousses. Since these strawberries have a defined stem, they are extremely popular for dipping into melted coatings like chocolate or fondue. Stem strawberries are often associated with romance, and elegance, conveying a luxurious appeal. Preparing chocolate covered strawberries for Valentine’s Day is one amazing use of stem strawberries! These strawberries can also be used in drinks, ranging from syrups for cocktails to juices and smoothies. The striking visual appeal of stem strawberries make them perfect for garnishes for cocktails, desserts, and gourmet dishes. Stem strawberries are loved for their flavor as well as versatility, creating the perfect addition to a variety of dishes!
