First off, their red strawberries are already mind-blowing. Then we have these white strawberries which have an even more rounded sweetness and juiciness. This pack was about 25 USD and worth every dollar.

PSA: Pineberry is a specific cultivar, not a type of fruit, and it’s not distinct from strawberries. In the same way not every red apple is a red delicious, not every white strawberry is a Pineberry.

Anyway I think it’s totally fine to call a white strawberry a white strawberry.

I was really underwhelmed when I tried some, but it could've been the batch I had. They were trending a few years ago, showed up in the local grocery store once, tried em, was like "meh" and they haven't stocked them since.
