Woodland Wild Strawberry Seeds (Fragaria vesca)

WHAT YOU WILL RECEIVE: Seeds will arrive packed inside our one-of-a-kind Frozen Seed Capsules™ - an air/water-tight glass vial packed with organic cotton and moisture-absorbing silica beads. The perfect environment for long-term seed storage!  

ABOUT THE PLANT: Archaeological evidence suggests that Fragaria vesca has been consumed by humans since the Stone Age. It was first cultivated in ancient Persia where farmers called the berries Toot Farangi. Seeds were later taken to the Far East and Europe where it was widely cultivated until the 18th century when it was replaced by the garden strawberry. Woodland strawberry fruit is strongly flavored and is still grown and collected for domestic use and on a small scale commercially for gourmet use and as an ingredient for jam, sauces, liqueurs, cosmetics, and for use in alternative medicine. In Turkey, hundreds of tons of wild strawberry are harvested annually, mainly for export.
