wild strawberries

Tiny woodland fruit

Wild strawberries are small, intensely flavored fruits that grow on low-spreading plants in temperate regions.

Unlike cultivated strawberries, they're tiny—often no bigger than a fingertip—but prized for their concentrated sweetness and fragrance.

They grow in meadows, forest edges, and along paths: We picked wild strawberries on the hillside.

The term also refers to Bergman's 1957 film about an aging professor confronting his past.
