Did you know?

One of the ancestors of the garden strawberry, this woodland fruit is no bigger than a fingernail but far more intensely scented. Until the garden strawberry was bred by crossing American species, it was the only strawberry grown in Europe. It bruises so easily that commercial growing is difficult, and it is mostly gathered wild.

Consumption tip

Even natural produce may carry pesticide residues. Wash fruits and vegetables under plenty of running water and discard the outer leaves of leafy greens. A short soak in vinegar water can also help reduce residues. Where possible, prefer certified organic or good-agricultural-practice products.
