A strawberry is a sweet, juicy red fruit that’s loved worldwide for its flavor and versatility.
🍓 What it is
The strawberry comes from the plant Fragaria × ananassa, a hybrid species cultivated for its large, flavorful fruit. Interestingly, it’s not a “true berry” in botanical terms—the tiny seeds on the outside are actually individual fruits called achenes.
