Strawberries are bright red, heart-shaped fruits that grow on small plants close to the ground. They have a really cool trick that no other fruit can do: they wear their seeds on the outside! A single strawberry has about 200 tiny yellow seeds dotting its skin.
Strawberries are one of the first fruits to ripen in the spring. They grow on small plants close to the ground, and many families love to go strawberry picking at farms where you can fill up a whole basket! Strawberries belong to the same plant family as roses, which helps explain why they smell so sweet.
Strawberries are packed with Vitamin C, which helps your body fight off germs and keeps you feeling great. You can eat them fresh right off the plant, dip them in chocolate, blend them into smoothies, or put them on top of cereal and ice cream.
