Natural Sweetness: the strawberry from Tenerife.
At Sanus Market , we are proud to offer our customers in Santa Cruz de Tenerife an unparalleled selection of organic and ecological fruits and vegetables, directly from local producers.
Among nature's treasures, organic strawberries hold a special place. This delicious fruit not only graces our tables but also provides countless health benefits. In this article, we'll explore the fascinating world of organic strawberries: from their seasonal availability to irresistible recipes, highlighting the added value that Sanus Market brings to your table.
Strawberry Season Calendar
In Tenerife, the organic strawberry season unfolds under a unique atmosphere, thanks to the Canary Islands' privileged climate. Here, the weather conditions allow for a longer growing season compared to other regions, enriching the availability of these red jewels. Unlike the more restrictive seasonal patterns in temperate climates, in Tenerife, strawberries begin to display their splendor from the end of November, extending into the summer and reaching their peak quality and flavor between January and May.
This extended season is not only a treat for the palate, but also reflects the harmonious way these organic strawberries are grown on the island. Local farmers, experts in organic practices, take advantage of the subtropical climate to offer strawberries that not only meet organic standards, but also stand out for their intense flavor and juicy texture.
Types of Strawberries
Each strawberry variety brings with it a unique story, a distinctive flavor, and a set of characteristics that make it special. Beyond the well-known 'Camarosa' and 'Fresón', our selection is enriched with types that may be less common, but are equally delightful for their properties and flavors.

- Among these varieties, we find ' Albion ', prized for its consistent sweetness and firmness after harvesting, making it an excellent choice for both fresh consumption and the preparation of jams and desserts. Its flavor, balanced with a slightly acidic touch, is perfect for those seeking a complete taste experience.
- The ' Diamante ' variety, on the other hand, is another gem among organic strawberries. It stands out for its large size and almost perfect shape, making it visually appealing. Its flesh is juicy and its flavor intensely sweet, making it ideal as the star ingredient in any dish or dessert.
- Equally important is the ' Aromas ' variety, which, as its name suggests, stands out for its exceptional aroma. This characteristic makes it a favorite choice for those seeking to enrich their senses, not only with taste but also with smell. Its presence in fruit salads or as a garnish on gourmet dishes speaks to its versatility and ability to elevate the culinary experience to another level.
In addition to these, there are many other varieties that are grown in the rich volcanic soil of Tenerife, each with its own flavor, texture and color profile.
Benefits of Eating Strawberries
Strawberries are not only delicious; they're also a superfood. Rich in vitamins C and E, antioxidants, fiber, and minerals, strawberries strengthen the immune system, promote cardiovascular health, and help regulate blood sugar. Their high antioxidant content makes them perfect allies in combating aging and promoting healthy skin.
Interesting facts
Did you know that the strawberry is the only fruit with its seeds on the outside? Each strawberry has around 200 seeds, making it a botanical marvel. Furthermore, strawberries have been used throughout history not only as food but also in natural medicine, thanks to their anti-inflammatory properties and their ability to improve dental health.
Recipes
Organic strawberries are incredibly versatile in the kitchen. A simple yet delicious recipe is a strawberry, spinach, and goat cheese salad dressed with balsamic vinaigrette. Another option is a refreshing strawberry smoothie with natural yogurt and honey, perfect for spring mornings.
