Pineberries


     What you see above are, genetically, common strawberries. They're a cultivar thereof -- a type of strawberry specifically cultivated due to the uniqueness of the variety present. Called "pineberries," these strawberries originally grew in South America and were almost extinct by 2003, but was saved by a group of Dutch farmers. The lone company to produce them claims that pineberries are actually the world's first strawberry, but that is probably more marketing spin than actual fact. If so, it's unneccessary, as pineberries have a built-in marketing hook, as the differences between pineberries and "regular" strawberriers is more than skin deep. Pineberries don't taste like normal strawberries. They taste like pineapples.
