Pretty Girls in the Garden
The strawberry is, botanically speaking, a “false fruit,” but it tastes all the more fruity for it. It has a purifying effect on the blood, is anti-inflammatory, and helps digestion. A total of about four hundred varieties of garden strawberries (Fragaria ananassa) of the Rosaceae family are known. Among them is a typical Austrian variation known by the name of “Schöne Wienerin” or “pretty Viennese girl.” In upscale patisseries, highly fragrant little wild strawberries enjoy a particular popularity.--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
