Strawberries

We consist of a cluster of small fruits around the fruit stem; each fruit has a seed surrounded by red flesh.

Our green stem and green calyx are left on when we're harvested.

We're not really a berry but a member of the rose family and the real fruits are actually the tiny seed on our outsides.

Our natural sweetness comes from the sugars frutctose and glucose.

We're an excellent source of vitamin C and just 100g has a whole day's supply.
