Leaf of wild strawberry

Wild strawberry leaf comes from a trailing plant that spreads out low to the ground on horizontal runners. The leaves appear in groups of three on hairy stems that are 10-15 cm high. They are deep green with toothed edges and reach 5cm across. Wild strawberry leaves are best foraged in the spring when they are at their aromatic peak. They have fruity strawberry nuances with fresh grassy herbal notes and a mildly astringent finish.
