Toddlers love them as a snack. Kids love them in their lunchboxes. And adults love to add strawberries to a range of delicious dishes. No wonder a punnet of strawberries never lasts long in the fridge!

The history of Strawberries
As part of the Fragaria family, strawberries, as we know them today, were first bred in France in the 1750s.
Strawberry plant

The garden strawberry was created as a cross between the Fragaria Virginiana which came from eastern North America, and the Fragaria Chiloensis which was brought from Chile. Prior to this, wild strawberries were a popular source of fruit and often used for medicinal purposes. Strawberries have even been referenced in ancient Roman literature.

Strawberries were first commercially grown in Australia in the 1950s, thriving in the rich fertile soil found on the outskirts of Melbourne. Strawberry farms now operate across Australia, from Perth to Bundaberg!

Grown with love
All year round, our strawberry farmers are cultivating juicy and fresh strawberries. So you can share a punnet in any season, wherever you are.

How to choose

How to choose

When choosing strawberries, look for punnets that contain brilliant red berries with an even, rich sheen. They should be clean and dry, and the leaves and stems should be bright green.

How to store

How to store

Strawberries are best stored in the fridge in their packaging. If you’d like to freeze your berries, wash carefully in cold water and pat dry. Remove the stems and any soft spots, and then pack them into freezable containers.

How to enjoy

How to enjoy

Ideally, leave your strawberries in their container until you’re ready to eat them. Strawberries are more delicious at room temperature. Just before eating, gently rinse under cool water and remove the green caps.

Whether you enjoy them in a Strawberry Shortcake, in a delicious jam, as a salsa to accompany savoury dishes or on their own, you’ll never get bored of strawberries!
