Strawberries Its origin: Its red color, delicate flavor and aromatic fragrance have made a gastronomic icon. Strawberries have the most glamorous time during the Wimbledon tennis tournament, where you served with cream has become a classic, but also look great swimming in a good pitcher of Burgundy. However, the most interesting fact is associated with its curious origin strawberries because they never existed in nature. Indeed, we all know commercial strawberry Fragaria x ananassa called (something like strawberry pineapple) and x in their name denotes that it is a hybrid between two different species of strawberry: the Fragaria virginiana and laFragaria chiloensis. The story surrounding the origin of F. ananassa is fascinating and fortunately is well documented. Spy King On January 7, 1712, Lieutenant Colonel François Amédée Frézier -Ingeniero 30 years sailed to Chile aboard the St. Joseph, a merchant ship equipped with French weapons. Frézier was sent as a spy for King Louis XIV with an important mission to make more accurate maps of ports and Spanish fortifications had on the coast of Chile and Peru. After a journey of 160 days, which included the passage through the dangerous Cape Horn, Frézier arrived at the port of Concepción on June 16, 1712. Fézier, who had shown his talent to serve the French crown above, used as a basis for Concepción along the coast of Chile and Peru, making accurate maps of ports and noting the possible escape routes, defenses available and administrative organization of the places he visited. In fact, the first map of Santiago made with technical standards was prepared by Frézier.
Additionally, he made some interesting observations on the flora and fauna found during the trip. One of the things that caught his attention was the presence of a type of strawberry that was not known in Europe, called quellghen by Mapuche -who also the cultivaban- and frutillar by the Spaniards. Unlike other wild strawberries (called llahuen, alueñe or lahueni) quellghen strawberries were white or pale pink. However, it was not the color which surprised Frézier, but its size: it was much larger than strawberries known in Europe.
