The strawberry fruit is the stem end in which are partially embedded the many true fruits or seeds. Because strawberries are highly perishable and do not lend themselves to be picked mechanically, they are usually grown near areas where manual labor is available. Strawberries are produced commercially for processing as frozen, canned or preserved berries, or as juice. The tempting berries are also popularly used in making preserves and pie fillings. Strawberry shortcake, composed of fresh strawberries, sponge cake and whipped cream, is an American favorite.
P ick a berry on the right and go explore.
