White Strawberries: An Allergy-Friendly Garden Delight
Gardeners and allergy sufferers alike are rejoicing over white strawberries, a unique variety that's easy to grow and may offer an alternative for those with red strawberry allergies.
White strawberries, unlike their red cousins, lack the protein Fra a1 responsible for strawberry allergies. This makes them a potential solution for people who typically avoid strawberries due to allergic reactions. However, it's important to note that individual reactions may vary.
Growing white strawberries is a breeze. They are perennial plants that thrive in containers or garden beds, given six hours of sunlight daily and protection from late spring frosts. Popular white alpine varieties include Albicarpa, Krem, and White Giant, while hybrid varieties like pineberries and Keoki also exist. Unlike other strawberries, white strawberries do not grow true from seed and are typically propagated through runners or division.
White strawberries, with their unique color and allergy-friendly nature, are an exciting addition to any garden. With proper care and a suitable environment, these plants can provide a bountiful harvest, offering a delightful alternative for those who've previously had to steer clear of strawberries.
