Do you know what kind of berries these are? 

– Oh, look, koumaria, – says Panagiotis. Flowers, yellow, red berries, a little fluffy. What a beauty in the forest! I choose, I have nowhere to put them, I use a mask .
*** Strawberry  or otherwise strawberry tree. I think it is grown  simply as a forest tree. The Greeks call this tree koumaria, and the fruit koumara. That is what I will call it here. So that when you come, you will remember what to look for .
Koumaria has been known since ancient times. The Roman naturalist, historian, and philosopher Pliny the Elder gave the tree its Latin name – Arbutus unedo. Unedo comes from the Latin word combination “I eat only one” (unum edo). It is an evergreen shrub, the height of which sometimes reaches 3 meters. A very hardy plant, even after a fire, new shoots quickly appear. Koumaria is one of the few plants that can bloom and at the same time delight with ripe fruits.
Koumaria has been known for its healing properties since ancient times. According to Greek mythology, the goddess Artemis treated sick children by holding a branch of koumaria in her hands. Hippocrates used koumaria (fruits) to treat thrombophlebitis (inflammation of the veins when blood clots form).
Koumaria is used in folk medicine as an antiseptic, diuretic (removing fluid from the body) and laxative, and koumaria leaves, in addition to the above, are used to treat hypertension and diabetes. It is a very good source of vitamin C and fiber.
