Strawberry cultivar From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Pineberry is a white strawberry cultivar with red seeds and a pineapple-like flavor.[1][2]
Pineberry is a hybrid cross from Fragaria chiloensis and Fragaria virginiana.[1] A pineberry is smaller than a common strawberry, measuring between 15 and 23 mm (0.6 and 0.9 in). When ripe, it is almost completely white, but with red achenes (the seeds). The plant is disease-resistant, and highly priced, although not profitable due to small-scale farming, small berry size and low yield.[2][3] Pineberries are harvested in the spring and summer. First identified in South America around 2002, pineberries are cultivated in Belgium and exported from the Netherlands.[2][3]
The berry was dubbed "pineberry" for the UK market where it became available in 2010 to reflect its pineapple-like flavor, while still being a strawberry.[4] Pineberries were first sold commercially in the United States in 2012,[1][5] and were marketed to restaurants, bakeries and wholesale markets in Europe and Dubai.[3]
