Madrone berries

wild fruits from the strawberry tree

Madrone berries are tasty fruits from the strawberry tree and come from Portugal. These, so called, strawberry trees can grow up to 25 meters. Madrone berries are wild fruits and are organic certified.

Because of the high sugar content, madrone berries are traditionally used to make liqueur. Today, these madrone berries are more known to be eaten as fresh fruit. The taste and the smell is pretty sweet and very aromatic. You can also try them in a salad, with appetizers or use them in a dessert.

Fortunately, there’s a constant supply at Rungis, because we sometimes need three hundred kohlrabi. Not just for De Librije, but also for Bar Senang: fruit and vegetables are wel represented on the menu there too.

They know: vegetables are the base for making a great dish. They don’t let you wait an entire week before something’s there. They have everything, from small farmers to international products.
