Long stem strawberries are distinguished by their large, uniform conical shape and bright candy apple red color with a perfectly glossy finish. Harvested to maintain a two-inch stem, these premium strawberries are plump and succulent with a classic sweet flavor and the perfect hint of tartness. Each 1 lb container showcases these carefully hand-selected berries with their long, sturdy stems intact.

These strawberries are botanically known as Fragaria ananassa and belong to the Rosaceae family. The long stem variety is selectively cultivated for its generous size and extended runners, making them ideal for elegant presentations and chocolate-covered treats. They can be served whole and intact atop tarts and cakes, or cored and stuffed with truffles, cream cheese, or fruit compotes.

Strawberries are an excellent source of antioxidants, vitamins A, C, E, and B-complex, as well as minerals including potassium, manganese, fluorine, copper, iron, and iodine. They pair beautifully with stone fruits such as peaches and cherries, rhubarb, vanilla, white chocolate, lavender, thyme, pineapple, banana, caramel, coconut, mascarpone, and heavy cream.
