   Trivia
   • Strawberries are the first fruit
     to ripen in the spring.

   • There is a museum in Belgium
     just for strawberries.

   • Over 53 percent of 7 to 9 year
     olds picked strawberries as
     their favorite fruit.

   • According to the U.S.
     Department of Agriculture,
     Americans eat an average
     of 3.4 pounds of fresh
     strawberries every year. If you
     count frozen strawberries, that
     number is closer to 5 pounds.

   • Strawberries are a member of
     the rose family.

   • The flavor of a strawberry is
     influenced by weather, the
     variety and stage of ripeness
     when harvested.

   • Almost 95 percent of United
     States households consume
     strawberries.• Considered a
     perennial, strawberry plants
     will grow back year after year.

   Science
   • One cup of strawberries is
     only 55 calories.

   • The strawberry is the only
     fruit with seeds on the out-
     side. On average, there are
     200 seeds on a strawberry.

   • The strawberry is not
     classified by botanists as a
     true berry. True berries, like
     blueberries and cranberries,
     have seeds inside. The
     strawberry, however, has
     its seeds on the out-side
     — each of which is actually
     considered a separate fruit.

   • In order to grow, strawberries
     need as much as six hours
     of direct sunlight every day.

   • Eight strawberries contain
     more Vitamin C than a
     medium-sized orange.
