Exquisitely sweet wild strawberries of France known as ‘fraises des bois’ or strawberries of the woods. They’re considered by many to be the ‘queen of strawberries.’ Strawberries vary in size, shape and color. in general, the flavor of the smaller berries is better than that of the larger varieties since the larger strawberries are often more watery.
