WHITE STRAWBERRIES: The exotic jewel entering India's food scene

Food lovers are always on the lookout for something new, something exotic that excites the palate and the eyes. While strawberries have long been adored for their bright red color and sweet-tart flavor, a new variety is quietly making its way into conversations among chefs, gardeners, and adventurous foodies in India — the white strawberry.

A RARE BEAUTY

White strawberries are instantly striking. Instead of turning red as they ripen, they remain a creamy white or pale ivory, with tiny red or golden seeds dotting the surface. Their flavor profile is equally fascinating: milder and sweeter than regular strawberries, with floral undertones and a subtle tropical twist. Some even compare the taste to pineapple, which is why one variety is popularly called the pineberry. Their delicate flavor and unusual appearance make them a true gourmet treasure.
