Fun strawberry facts

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!

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.
