Strawberries and berries in Finland

Written on August 24, 2007 by Alisa

berries.JPG Finnish straw­ber­ries, Finnish blue­ber­ries, you name it berries, they are all good, bet­ter than any­where else…as is with most things in Fin­land, they are con­cen­trated! Full of fla­vor! Eat them fresh from the mar­ket or dried, YUM! In a pow­dered form or in soup, bet­ter yet, they are CHEAP a whole 2 pints of red cur­rents for $3, finally some­thing afford­able in Fin­land! Who­hooo! Please note the metal cup in the photo used for mea­sur­ing out a liter or a half liter, I was sur­prised to see such a sys­tem in place here rather than sell­ing by weight. We are work­ing hard on get­ting some of these hand­made cups for KIOSK, they have the Finnish author­i­ties offi­cial mark on them and are lovely. The elderly gen­tle­man who makes them does not speak Eng­lish so this is a SLOW process.
