Strawberry, Quinault

Quinault strawberries are heart-shaped and beautiful deep red. They can grow up to 2 inches in diameter, which is quite large for a strawberry! These large, soft, and sweet berries are best for fresh eating, cooking, or baking. Strawberry lovers who grow this variety themselves agree they have a consistently good flavor regardless of size. The flesh is pleasantly soft but not at all mushy. Because they have more soft flesh than other varieties, they are not good for freezing or commercial growing. Try making jams or jellies to preserve them if you can resist eating them all right away. (photo and description from strawberryplants.org)
