Awayuki Ichigo Strawberries

This rare light pink strawberry variety got its milky pinkish colour and red seeds because it received less sun exposure than normal strawberries. You might think these pale coloured strawberries are tart or sour, but they are larger, softer and sweeter than their regular counterparts. One bite into the tender, soft flesh is enough to give off a strong, sweet, candy-like scent with fruity pineapple notes that melts in your mouth. The natural sugar of the strawberry does not linger obtrusively in the mouth, but leaves a refreshing finish.

If you have not tried Awayuki Ichigo Strawberries yet, this fruit should be on your bucket list. They are a bit pricey, but if you are lucky enough to snag these pink strawberries, they are worth the splurge.

You can either enjoy or give away this luxury fruit, grown with exquisite care and attention. Whatever the occasion, celebrations, weddings, housewarming parties, Valentine's Days, birthdays, get well gifts, condolences or holidays. This fruit is the perfect gift for someone you want to impress, show your gratitude or wish well. Be sure to try it so your loved ones can experience the colours, fragrance and taste of Japanese cherry blossom in Singapore.

STORAGE

Store the strawberries immediately in the refrigerator, because keeping them at room temperature will only accelerate their deterioration as they spoil faster than normal strawberries.

FUN FACTS & TIPS

Strawberries are very perishable and have a maximum shelf life of three days, even if stored in the fridge. To get rid of mould, spores and bacteria, soak them for a few minutes in a mixture of white vinegar and water in the following ratio. This way, your high-quality strawberries will keep a little longer and do not worry, they will not taste like vinegar afterwards!
