THE PINEBERRY... PINEAPPLE STRAWBERRY...!!!

The Pineberry is a strawberry cultivar publicized in Eastern Germany in April, 2009, as Ananaserdbeere, or pineapple strawberry. It is a hybrid of Fragaria chiloensis, originating in South America, and Fragaria virginiana, originating in North America, the same parentage as the garden strawberry Fragaria × ananassa. .The fruit flesh can range from soft white to orange and is very fragrant with a slight pineapple flavor.

Pineberries were nearly extinct until 2003, when a group of Dutch farmers banded together to save the plant. When ripe, it is almost completely white, but with red "seeds" (achenes).
