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

Per plant in a 7cm pot.

Have you ever tried a strawberry that looks like it's from a fairy tale and tastes like a tropical vacation? Allow me to introduce: The "Exotic White". This extraordinary rarity turns the heads of sweet tooths and gardening enthusiasts alike. With its creamy white fruit and bright red seeds, it is not only an absolute eye-catcher in the garden bed, but also a top-class culinary experience.

A taste that enchants

Don't let the light color fool you! 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 clearly perceptible, refreshing pineapple note. It literally melts on the tongue and is an absolute highlight – whether enjoyed pure straight from the bush, in summer fruit salads, or as a spectacular decoration on desserts, cocktails, and cakes.

The exciting origin

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

Care and cultivation: How it thrives magnificently

So that you can look forward to a rich harvest of these white pearls in the summer, there is no magic required. Maintenance is extremely simple and perfectly suitable even for beginners in gardening:

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

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

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

• Important professional tip (pollination): The "Exotic White" needs a little help for maximum yield. Simply plant a classic red strawberry variety from my offers in the immediate vicinity (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 hardy. A light covering with brushwood in the first winter protects it against severe frost, after which it will reliably sprout again in the spring.

Why you will love the "Exotic White"

Treat yourself to something extraordinary! The "Exotic White" is a guaranteed conversation starter across the garden fence and offers a refined taste that you won't find in any ordinary supermarket. A great side effect: birds often do not recognize the white fruits as ripe and leave them alone – so there is more 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 sponge:

• 3 eggs (size M)

• 100 g sugar

• 1 packet vanilla sugar

• 100 g flour

• 1 tsp baking powder

• 1 pinch of 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: Some grated organic lime zest (pairs excellently with the pineapple aroma)

Preparation

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

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

3. Prepare the cream: Mix mascarpone, quark, powdered sugar, and lemon juice into a smooth cream. If you like, stir in the lime zest – this reinforces the "tropical" kick of the white berries.

4. Spread: Spread the cream evenly over the cold cake base.

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

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

Tip: If you mix in a few regular red strawberries, it creates a great visual "negative effect" that will provide conversation at any coffee table!
