Interessante Fakten

Ancient Romans prized woodland strawberries for both their delicious taste and medicinal uses!

Despite its name, botanically, it's not a true berry, but an 'aggregate accessory fruit'!

Each tiny seed on the outside of the berry is actually a separate fruit called an achene!

These wild strawberries taste much stronger and sweeter than common store-bought varieties!
