FAQs about pineberries
No. Pineberries are a subset of regular strawberries and have not been genetically modified or crossbred with a pineapple. They offer a slightly citrus note behind that of the traditional sweetness of the strawberry, which has led people to believe pineberries are a cross between the two. Pineberries grow much like a standard red strawberry but start off green and end up a creamy white color when ripe.
Pineberries have a juicy flavor that is neither too acidic nor too sweet, and they smell delicious. You can use pineberries in recipes that you would normally use strawberries in, as well as a few recipes that typically call for pineapple. A few favorites circulating on the internet include fruit smoothies; spinach, goat cheese, and pineberry salad; and a pineberry tart.
The pineberry is available in a few varieties, although not nearly as many as regular strawberries. Varieties include:
- White Pine: These pineberries produce a lot of runners and can be quite vigorous. Experts suggest that this variety be grown in a glasshouse or growing system that keeps them out of the full sun, as they may turn slightly bluish-pink if exposed to full sun. This color change does not change the flavor.
- White Carolina: The White Carolina variety is susceptible to leaf scorch, making it not quite as hardy.
- White D: White D pineberries are a hardy, slightly larger variety that was developed in Sweden.
- Natural Albino: The last variety found today is the Natural Albino, a smaller version that is approximately a nickel or dime size.
