That Bad Girl Sexy Strawberry We Love

In the mad world of fruit, yes, the mad world of fruit sits the sexy Strawberry. Plump, red, and juicy, yet she sits outside; nude, her seeds are on show to all on her outer skin. She is the only fruit that shows her seeds off to all and sundry, all other fruits keep their seeds hidden away inside. But we love her delicious sweet taste and her scent of summer.

You may also not know that the Ancient Romans believed strawberries had medicinal powers and used them to treat depression, fever, and sore throats. They contain large amounts of fibre, antioxidants, and other vitamins and minerals. And why do we, the Brits, eat them with cream? Well, thank Thomas Wolsey ( King Henry VIII’s right hand man) for that, as he introduced the combination at a banquet in 1509.

They are the most popular fruit in summer in the UK, and an average of three kg of strawberries are eaten every year. Globally, nine million tonnes are produced each year.

We love how they taste, but we also love how they smell; the characteristic strawberry aroma of sweet jammy but even slightly vegetal is so enticing. This tiny powerhouse of a fruit has been studied for its different chemicals, with more than 360 having been observed in fresh strawberries.

The most common kinds of chemicals are furanones and esters, these molecules are responsible for the fruity and floral notes of the aroma. In the right perfumed hands, strawberries can be lush, juicy, fruity-green, tart, vegetal and even a little ‘jammy’.

In the UK strawberries are a summer fruit and many associate them with the Tennis Festival Wimbledon. But for those who know the weather in the UK in summer can be rather rainy…
