Strawberry what kind of fruit

If I plant those tiny seeds will a plant come up that will produce edible strawberries? Thank you all. I agree with you…. Even as a lay person I knew that…what do they learn in school here? In Europe, the first thing you learn is all about the local fruits, trees, veggies, mushrooms etc… most important to know what and what not you can eat in the wild, and the wild, original strawberries still grow in European forests.

They are tiny and very sweet…much better flavor than any man made ones… we picked them as kids! You can have your evolutionary theories, but my short answer is that God designed and created the strawberry to give us something delicious and nutritious to enjoy. People read the comments, and do you want them to wonder if NC State news readers are uneducated?

As a former NCSU graduate, and insatiably curious about both science and religion, your response could appear equally uneducated and trivial. Did you make any attempt to understand his point of view, or is a religious response always assumed to be uneducated? This just proves that insecure theists who worship ignorance are as annoying and shortsighted as any militant atheist on the internet.

Take care, but seriously folks pick more worthy battles with better hills to die on than a board explaining strawberries. Sheesh, expand your horizons a bit and open your minds. The universe indeed rotates around the still earth. I agree. Their unbelief blinds them. May 10, Matt Shipman.

Jesus is Lord and Creator, and one day all will know and confess. Fragaria contains at least 21 different species native to the Americas, Europe and Asia. The garden strawberry Fragaria x ananassa , also known as the cultivated strawberry or commercial strawberry, can be traced back to 18th century Europe.

Many different hybrids abound. While the garden strawberry is what you normally think of when you hear the word "strawberry," many other strawberries exist throughout the world. Wild strawberries grow throughout the United States and most have similar characteristics to the sweet berries you find at farmer's markets and your grocery store. Throughout the world, strawberries are found covering the ground and playing host to various types of wildlife.

Many wild or native species are used as groundcovers in home landscapes. The family Rosaceae is also known as the "flowering plants" family. As the latin name for the family suggests, the common name is the "rose family. This family contains 72 genera overall, with just over 1, taxa. The brownish or whitish specks, which are commonly considered seeds, are the true fruits, called achenes, and each of them surrounds a tiny seed.

These achenes also make strawberries relatively high in fiber. According to the Wellness Encyclopedia of Food and Nutrition, one-half cup of strawberries supplies more fiber than a slice of whole wheat bread, and more than 70 percent of the recommended daily allowance of vitamin C. The cultivated strawberry is a hybrid of two different parent species. Because they are hybrids, cultivated strawberries are often able to adapt to extreme weather conditions and environments. While California and Florida are the largest producers, strawberries are grown in all 50 states.

Strawberries are a significant crop in Pennsylvania, but they have a relatively short season. According to Carolyn Beinlich of Triple B Farms, a local pick-your-own berry farm in Monongahela, Pennsylvania's ideal strawberry season lasts three and one-half weeks. The plants form their fruit buds in the fall, so adequate moisture at that time is vital.

Since October was a rainy month, Beinlich is looking forward to a bountiful strawberry crop this season. The recipe shown here is among Beinlich's favorites for celebrating the strawberry season.
