Fragaria vesca or wild strawberries as they are commonly called, is a species of Fragaria which belongs to the rose family. Wild strawberry grows naturally all over the northern hemisphere.The fruit looks like strawberry, but are much smaller. The taste is like the taste of strawberries but maybe something sweeter. Did you know that our strawberries are cultivated from the wild strawberry?

In sweden wild strawberry is often picked by children and put like beads on a staw to be eaten. Maybe thats the orgin of the name? Straw-berry.
