STRAWBERRIES FACTS

There are over 20 named species of strawberry plants.

The Garden strawberry is the most common type of strawberry grown commercially.

The US strawberry industry is over $1.2 billion dollars annually, and strawberry festivals are very popular.

The United States is the top strawberry producing country in the world, followed by Spain.

Strawberries are "accessory" fruits.

The typical modern strawberry is a hybrid from both North and South America.

The strawberry was considered poisonous in Argentina until the mid-1800's.

Many Lepidopterans (butterflies, moths, and skinners) are known to feed on strawberry plants.

The word strawberry is derived from the Old English word "streawberige".

One cup of strawberries (144 grams) contains approximately 45 calories

Went to Lake Geneva , WI today for their annual Oktoberfest. Fall colors are amazing. Tara and Alex enjoyed hayride, moonwalks and got their faces painted. We got free pumpkins, too!
