Fun strawberry facts

Each strawberry has 200 seeds on that. I can attest to that because Mr Slayer dried a strawberry and now we have many many little plants. 

Strawberries are not really a berry. Just to confuse you. They are known as an accessory fruit. I don't think I would personally wear one though ;) Because their seeds are outside not inside. 

They are considered members of the rose family due to the scent they give out and grow on bushes. I know they always smell very yummy!

Ancient Romans thought strawberries had medicinal powers and would use them to treat anything from sore throats to depression. Maybe because of the vitamins in it? They have more vitamin C in than an orange!

Do you know any other strawberry facts?

    More Strawberry Fun Facts: Throughout antiquity, strawberry has seen many different uses other than as a food source. For example, it was used as a symbol for Venus, the Goddess of Love, because of its heart shape and red color. The ancient Romans believed that strawberry had great medicinal value; they used it to alleviate the symptoms of a wide array of maladies ranging from melancholy to kidney stones. Medieval stone masons carved strawberry designs on altars and around the tops of pillars in churches and cathedrals to symbolize perfection and righteousness. In one of its most bizarre uses, Madame Tallien, a prominent figure at the court of the Emperor Napoleon, was famous for bathing in fresh strawberry juice. Reportedly, she used 22 pounds of strawberry fruit per bath.

  • I love strawberries with chocolate or whipped cream. Strawberries are the best on pancakes too.

    Fun fact about a strawberries they have many antioxidants and may help reduce cardio stress and improve cognitive functions.

And a verse…Strawberry shortcake, cream on top, tell me the name of your sweetheart…
