Orange juice marinated strawberries

Fresas marinadas en zumo de naranja
In Europe, there were three main strawberry species. By the time American plants were introduced, The Mapuche and Huilliche Indians of what today it is called Chile cultivated the female strawberry species until 1551 when the Spanish came to conquer the land. In 1765, a European explorer recorded the cultivation of the Chilean strawberry. At first introduction to Europe, the plants grew vigorously but produced no fruit. It was discovered in 1766 that the female plants could only be pollinated by plants that produced large fruit. This is when the Europeans became aware that plants had the ability to produce male-only or female-only flowers.
