Hmm. Instead of "wild", perhaps I should have written "original". In other
words, a wild plant that comes as close to it's paleo ancestors as
possible.

Thanks. I will compare vs. some store bought.

>Same for the wild strawberries.

I have seen same in the mountains around here. Never saw an actual berry
though. Birds probably get to them first :(

Interesting that you say they are sweetest, when the general concensus on
this list is that "original" fruits and berries would *not* have been very
sweet (or, so "they" say :). Therefore I have to assume that "sweetness" is
not necessarily a modern-only trait.
