Show Why 'Strawberries'? Originally it was "strewberries" not "strawberries." The original name was "strewberry" due to the manner in which it grows. In other words, the berries are sort of strewn over the ground. Another interesting interest-ing point is that it's not a berry and It's not a fruit. It's simply an enlarged en-larged receptacle which has on its surface small seed-like achenia which are the real fruit. The dictionary dic-tionary describes it as fragrant, somewhat acid, edible, and very highly esteemed. |
