Pineapple Strawberry - Exotic White - A fruity dream for your garden

Strong young plants of my white pineapple strawberry – an exceptional taste experience with creamy-white fruits and intense pineapple aroma.

Per plant in a 7cm pot.

Have you ever tasted a strawberry that looks like something out of a fairy tale and tastes like a tropical vacation? Allow me to introduce: the "Exotic White". This extraordinary rarity captivates sweet tooths and garden lovers alike. With its creamy-white fruit and vibrant red achenes, it is not only an absolute eye-catcher in the bed but also a culinary experience in a class of its own.

A Taste that Enchanted

Don't be fooled by its light color! When you bite into the soft, juicy fruit, a true taste explosion awaits you. The "Exotic White" combines the classic, mild sweetness of a strawberry with a distinctly noticeable, refreshing pineapple note. It literally melts on your tongue and is an absolute highlight – whether enjoyed fresh directly from the bush, in summer fruit salads, or as spectacular decoration on desserts, cocktails, and cakes.

The Exciting Origin

This fascinating variety is a true marvel of botany. It originally stems from a natural cross between South and North American wild strawberries (Fragaria chiloensis and Fragaria virginiana) – the ancestors of our modern garden strawberries. Through careful, traditional breeding, this almost forgotten, historical heritage was revived and refined into the robust, highly aromatic plant you can grow today.

Care and Cultivation: How it Thrives

You don't need any magic to enjoy a rich harvest of these white pearls in summer. The care is very simple and perfectly suited for beginner gardeners:

• The perfect location: The "Exotic White" loves it warm and bright. A sunny to semi-shady, sheltered spot is ideal for the fruits to develop their full aroma. It is excellent for garden beds, but also for pots or balcony boxes.

• The soil: Plant your strawberries in humus-rich, loose, and well-draining soil. The roots do not tolerate waterlogging.

• Proper watering: Keep the soil consistently moist. Especially during flowering and fruiting, the plant appreciates regular watering, ideally directly at the root area and not over the leaves.

• Important Pro Tip (Pollination): The "Exotic White" needs a little help for maximum yield. Simply plant a classic red strawberry variety from my offers in close proximity (a ratio of 1 red to 4 white plants is perfectly sufficient). The red strawberries act as ideal pollen donors!

• Winter hardiness: The plant is robust and winter hardy. Lightly covering it with brushwood in the first winter protects it from severe black frosts, after which it reliably sprouts again in spring.

Why you will love the "Exotic White"

Treat yourself to the extraordinary! The "Exotic White" is guaranteed to be a conversation starter over the garden fence and offers a refined taste you won't find in any ordinary supermarket. A great side effect: Birds often don't recognize the white fruits as ripe and leave them alone – so more is left for you to snack on!

Surprise your family, friends, and guests with this tropical-looking rarity. Turn your garden or balcony into a true gourmet oasis.

Plant now and soon enjoy the sweet, tropical aroma of the "Exotic White"!

White Pineapple Strawberry Dream (Sponge Cake Style)

This cake looks incredibly elegant due to the contrast of the white berries on a light cream.

Ingredients

For the base:

• 3 eggs (size M)

• 100 g sugar

• 1 packet vanilla sugar

• 100 g flour

• 1 tsp baking powder

• 1 pinch salt

For the topping:

• 400 g pineapple strawberries (freshly picked)

• 250 g mascarpone

• 200 g low-fat quark

• 50 g powdered sugar

• 1 tbsp lemon juice

• Optional: A little grated organic lime zest (pairs wonderfully with the pineapple aroma)

Preparation

1. Bake the base: Preheat the oven to 180°C (top/bottom heat). Beat eggs with sugar and vanilla sugar for about 5 minutes until the mixture is light white and thick. Mix flour, baking powder, and salt and carefully fold in (do not stir too vigorously, so the air remains!).

2. Bake: Pour the batter into a greased springform pan (26 cm) and bake for approx. 15–20 minutes until golden brown. Let cool completely.

3. Prepare the cream: Mix mascarpone, quark, powdered sugar, and lemon juice until smooth. If desired, fold in the lime zest – this enhances the "tropical" kick of the white berries.

4. Spread: Distribute the cream evenly on the cooled base.

5. The highlight: Carefully wash the pineapple strawberries (they are often more sensitive to pressure than red varieties!), remove the green, and either halve the berries or arrange them closely together on the cream.

6. Finishing: For extra shine, you can add a light cake glaze (mixed with apple juice), but plain, the cake looks almost more modern with its white-on-white look.

Tip: If you mix in a few normal red strawberries, you'll create a great optical "negative effect" that will be a talking point at any coffee table!
