The Strawberry Solstice: what the berry symbolises in our lives
2016's strawberry solstice fell as the UK's strawberry pickers embarked on a bigger crop than ever before. Strawberries have become a supermarket staple - no longer a seasonal treat. Yet the strawberry is interwoven into our culture like no other fruit, and when good, can be the flavour, scent and colour of summer. Sheila Dillon embarks on a discovery of the Strawberry Solstice.
First broadcast on the Food Programme, 8 August 2016.
