The Strasberry or Fragaria × ananassa 'Mieze Schindler' is a variety of the wild strawberry, with a raspberry-like appearance, originally developed in South America in the 1900s. It is not a hybrid of the two fruits.[1] It is similarly soft textured, with characteristics that are similar to raspberries, such as being a deeper red, being rounder and having a bumpy exterior.[2] They are also smaller than a strawberry and have deeper seeds.[3] The species were threatened by extinction[4] until they were reintroduced as a commercial variety by a Dutch farmer in the twenty first century.[5]
