Fragaria viridis, commonly called creamy strawberry [2] or green strawberry [3] is a species of strawberry native to Europe and central Asia. It has fruits with fine flavour. They have surprisingly little of the usual strawberry aroma, but a refreshing acidity, and sometimes ripen without becoming red. When they are plucked from the plant, the calyx will usually adhere and they will detach with a noticeable snapping sound. [4] [5] [ dead link ]
