What is a musk strawberry?

• Also called musky strawberry
• Known for its strong, sweet, perfumed aroma (that “musk” scent)
• Smaller and softer than modern grocery-store strawberries
• Often darker red and very fragrant

Taste & use

• Flavor is intense and aromatic, less watery
• Best eaten fresh or used in:
  • Jams
  • Desserts
  • Syrups
• Not commonly sold because they bruise easily and don’t ship well
