Interesting facts- STRAWBERRIES

I thought it would be a great idea to post every week a new interesting fact! Sometimes you find out really amazing things! And who knows...maybe they can even be helpful.
The first interesting fact is about....Strawberries! I love them! With ice cream, chocolate, on cakes and tarts with whipped cream, honey or sugar or just plain strawberries! They are absolutely amazing!

Strawberry is not a fruit, it is a receptacle(In botany, the receptacle is the thickened part of a stem from which the flower organs grow. In some accessory fruit, for example the pome and strawberry, the receptacle gives rise to the edible part of the fruit).California is the largest producer of strawberries with almost 20000 acres dedicated to growing the fruit. Surprisingly the entire land of the USA is considered to be fertile for growing strawberries. If consumed in the right amount this fruit can fill in almost 20% of human body's daily requirement for folic acid and 140% of Vitamin C. It is the only fruit with the seeds on the skin and a strawberry on an average has 200 seeds.
Strawberries are considered to be a fruit of love making and flirtation. Some people believe that strawberries are symbol of Venus (Goddess of Love).InterestingFacts
