Though "bubut" they were good. Those are from a different variety than the one most commonly found. I believed they started selling it last Christmas season. And no, they are not using greenhouses. goodtimer, I’ve seen those organic strawberries before at the Benguet State University but the fruits weren’t ready for picking and market production.

They were supposed to be marketed this season, though I haven't seen them in the Baguio market. They were touted as very sweet berries, similar to wild-grown ones. Can't wait to try them!

They are smaller than what you'll get in US groceries but they're definitely more flavorful...terrific as is.

As I have mentioned before in your article about salads, I add it in my salad with raspberry vinaigrette. I love strawberry and I either dip it in sugar or marshmallow dip.

We get them in a flat of 4 small plastic boxes w/o the saran wrap packaging. My wife would prepare and dip them in some chocolate concoction and feed them to me after dinner, cant ask for anything more.
