Shasta Strawberry is an exciting fig variety discovered by David Burke, also known as "The Fig Hunter," in Shasta County, California. This variety was found growing at the base of a large oak tree in an open lot. It is characterized by its slightly chewy skin and bright red, gelatinous interior with a crunchy texture. The fig has a sweet strawberry flavor reminiscent of strawberry candies.

The figs from the Shasta Strawberry variety are described as medium-sized and have a rich, strawberry-like flavor. The super ripe figs also have a hint of cinnamon. The fig's eye is notably sealed with a red drop of rich strawberry nectar, enhancing its flavor and appeal. This variety is highly praised for its unique taste and is considered one of the best-tasting figs discovered by The Fig Hunter.
