strawberries

Strawberries are vibrant red, heart-shaped fruits belonging to the rose family. They are known for their juicy, sweet-tart flavor and are rich in vitamin C, antioxidants, and dietary fiber. Botanically, what we eat is the enlarged part of the plant’s stem called the receptacle, with tiny seeds (achenes) on the surface. Strawberries grow on low-lying plants that thrive in temperate climates, and they are commonly cultivated through careful farming or home gardening. Often consumed fresh, they are also used in cooking, baking, and beverages, making them a popular and nutritious fruit worldwide.
