Hello all fruit friends.
After I have already started to report about apples and old apple varieties, I would like to tell you in the meantime about another fruit which is very popular in the world - the strawberry. Of course, I will continue my series on apples very shortly.

The article starts with a historical and current background, of course, but here, too, as in the first two parts about the old apple varieties, I would like to discuss rare and particularly tasty German varieties.
Strawberries are a genus in the Rosoideae subfamily within the rose family (Rosaceae). It has been proven that the strawberry has been known since the Stone Age and that during the Middle Ages already the woodland strawberry was planted. But it was not until the 17th and 18th centuries that two strawberry varieties arrived in Europe. On the one hand the Virginia Strawberry also called Scarlet Strawberry, and on the other hand, the Chile Strawberry also called Beach Strawberry. These two varieties were more fruity than the woodland strawberry known in Europe.
Around 1750, the original form of today's garden strawberry was bred in Brittany, from which most varieties still originate today.

The love and fascination of strawberry started about 20 years ago when my parents started planting strawberries in their garden. From the beginning, my parents didn't plant the common strawberry varieties, but they were interested in the old and original varieties. It was and still is a small celebration every time @anutu and I visit my parents and admire the beds with the strawberries.
It is a feast for all the senses and it is such a great pleasure to pick the fruits together, to nibble on them and then process them. We make strawberry juice, jam, bake pies and cakes and much more. But the strawberries taste best fresh, a little sugared and then with fresh whipped cream.
The cream in Germany has a fat content between 30% and 35% and is very good, but in the strawberry season, we always bring fresh cream from Malta, because it has 40% fat content - a culinary delight.
Hey, hope you like it and if you have time please, read my articles about old apple varieties! @oneofsteem
