Fragaria viridis, commonly called creamy strawberry{{Cite web |url=http://www.luontoportti.com/suomi/en/kukkakasvit/creamy-strawberry |title=Creamy Strawberry, Fragaria viridis |website=NatureGate}} or green strawberry{{Cite web|url=https://eol.org/pages/635344|title=Green Strawberry|publisher=Eol.org|access-date=2021-11-26}} is a species of strawberry native to Europe and central Asia. It has fruits with fine flavour. They have surprisingly little of the usual strawberry aroma, but a refreshing acidity, and sometimes ripen without becoming red. When they are plucked from the plant, the calyx will usually adhere and they will detach with a noticeable snapping sound.{{GRIN | accessdate = 1 January 2018}}[http://linnaeus.nrm.se/flora/di/rosa/fraga/fragvir.html Den Virtuella Floran] Swedish site with good F. viridis photos.{{Dead link|date=July 2024}}
