Strawberries are not an ancient berry. Its origin is due to the crossing of two wild strawberry varieties.
For the first time, a large sweet red berry was bred by the French in the 18th century. At that time, strawberries became a highly sought-after berry. Confectioners often added it to desserts, as strawberries perfectly decorated any cake or pastry.
