strawberries

Seeded red fruits

Strawberries are the red, seed-studded fruits of a low-growing plant, prized for their sweet flavor and fragrance.

Unlike most fruits, strawberries wear their seeds on the outside rather than encasing them within.

They're eaten fresh, used in desserts, and made into jams and preserves.

Fresh strawberries with cream is a classic summer treat.

The singular strawberry can also describe the distinctive red color or the plant itself.
