Strawberries

The strawberry is one of the most popular types of fruit there is. From a botanical point of view, the strawberry is a false fruit: the small seeds on the outside are the real fruits. Strawberries are also referred to as “summer kings”, but are available throughout the year. Fresh strawberries have a sweet and juicy taste.
