Food and beverages (non-medicinal):
Fragaria moschata is cultivated for fresh consumption and processed products in parts of Europe, especially for its aromatic flavor. Documented non-medicinal uses include jam, desserts (such as pies and fruit tartes), and fruit wines or liqueurs; in the former USSR, the species is recognized as a minor fruit crop used for jam and fresh use. These applications rely on sensory attributes (aroma, sugar–acid balance) and processing suitability (fruit firmness that aids jam set).

Properties relevant to use:
- Distinct musky/aromatic profile that imparts flavor in fresh and cooked products.
- Fruit firmness supports preparation methods such as cooking and canning without rapid breakdown.
- Moderate acidity complements sugar-based preserves and dessert applications.

Common products:
Processed fruit: jams and conserves; fresh market fruit; alcoholic beverages (fruit wines or liqueurs).

Industrial and craft applications:
No established industrial, craft, or scientific/model uses are documented for the taxon.

Colorants and tanning:
No use reported.

Wood and fiber:
No use reported.

Fragrance and cosmetics:
No use reported.

Standards and regulation:
No specific standards or regulatory frameworks have been established for Fragaria moschata products.

Sustainability and sourcing:
The species is cultivated on a small scale and may be grown in home gardens or by specialty growers; market information is sparse and typically grouped under “strawberry” statistics, limiting detailed sustainability assessment.
