Did You Know That...
...Strawberries are the only fruit that wear their seeds on the outside? The average berry is adorned with some 200 of them. No wonder it only takes one bite to get seeds stuck in your teeth.
...Strawberries aren’t true berries, like blueberries or even grapes? Technically, a berry has its seeds on the inside.
...Strawberries are members of the rose family? Should you come upon a bush of them growing, you’ll see: they smell as sweet as they taste.
...The strawberry plant is a perennial? This means if you plant one now, it will come back year after year!
