Elsanta
from our plotThe most widely grown commercial strawberry in the UK, and there's a reason for that — it's productive, disease-resistant, and the berries are firm and glossy. Not the most complex flavour, but it delivers quantity and reliability. The safe pair of hands.
in the kitchen
Strawberry smoothie
Blitz fresh berries with yoghurt, a drizzle of honey, and a splash of milk. Pour into a glass. The firmness of Elsanta berries means a thick, satisfying smoothie rather than a watery one.
