Strawberries are a succulent, fragrant fruit loved and enjoyed by everyone. Traditionally, part of the of appeal is that its short, six-week season, from early June until mid-August, coincides with the brief, long-awaited British summer.
Nowadays the British strawberry season extends from mid April until mid December, through the use of plastic polytunnels which provide the berries with a warmer, more protected environment –and a much longer growing season.
Elsanta – just one variety of strawberry – accounts for 80 per cent of the British fruit sold in UK supermarkets, although there are many other varieties available from farmers’ markets and pick your own farms which are worth seeking out.
In fact strawberries have long been a key ingredient in classic British summer foods such as the Eton Mess, summer pudding or strawberries and cream.
