How to Vary your Strawberry







Perhaps the most delicious member of the rose family, strawberries have impressed me with their beauty and variety. With 600 different species of strawberry found today, it appears that we all have a lot of berry tasting to catch up on. Take a trip over to your local farmers market and hopefully you'll be able to witness some of the assorted colors and shapes. 

Typically, a strawberry's size is linked to the size of its water content: larger strawberries have a larger water content, while smaller ones have a more intense flavor. Beyond intensity, different species of strawberries actually do taste different. Learning more about the different types will help you to navigate through the strawberry fields forever.
