Is it a pineapple ? Is it a strawberry? It is both.
Pineberry
The pineberry can now be found again on the market. It looks like a white to light pink strawberry, and has a wonderful aroma of pineapple. Exported from South America, its flesh is juicy, firm and sweet. Once condemned to be forgotten, it was rescued by some passionate Dutch farmers.
The pineberry is quite expensive and, as far as I know, it is only available in Europe for now. However, I am really looking forward to tasting this exotic fruit here in Canada some day. What other gourmet treat will emerge from obscurity next past? I am very impatient to discover new foods that mother nature gave us but that we still have not appreciated yet.
