White strawberry that taste like pineapple


The pineberry originated in South America as a wild variety of strawberry but was threatened with extinction until seven years ago when Dutch farmers began growing it commercially, according to the retailer.

They are grown in glasshouses, turning from green to white and are ripe when the seeds turn dark red.

Available in Waitroase.
