- The full moon in June is called a Strawberry Moon
- Normally, strawberries are red, but they come in other colors too,
such as a white variety of strawberries that tastes like pineapple
- Strawberries are high in fiber, potassium, and vitamin C, making them a healthy snack
- May is National Strawberry Month
- January 15th is National Strawberry Ice Cream Day
- There exists such a thing as a False Strawberry:
They look similar to real strawberries, and while they are technically edible,
they don’t taste like real strawberries and aren’t very fun to eat
- There is a whole museum in Belgium just for strawberries
- In a recent strawberry... I mean survey, over 53% of seven
to nine year olds picked strawberries as their favorite fruit
- Strawberries are the first fruit to ripen in the spring
- In the traditional Victorian language of flowers, the strawberry represents absolute perfection
- Strawberry Pocky was the third flavor of Pocky ever to be sold, after regular Pocky and almond Pocky
- Strawberry plants are part of the rose family
- A strawberry could be considered a vegetable, rather than a fruit (the main part of the strawberry,
anyway)! The seeds on the outside are the real fruits, and each one contains a tiny seed inside it.
The strawberry itself is part of the stem. This is also why strawberries don't ripen after being picked!

"Delkiow Sivy"
Where are you going, pretty maid,
with your white face and your yellow hair?
I'm going to the spring, kind sir,
for strawberry leaves make maidens fair.
I'll go with you, pretty maid,
with your white face and your yellow hair?
If you want to, kind sir,
for strawberry leaves make maidens fair.
What if I get you on the ground, pretty maid,
with your white face and your yellow hair?
I'll jump up again, kind sir,
for strawberry leaves make maidens fair.
What if I get you with child, pretty maid,
with your white face and your yellow hair?
I will bear him, kind sir,
for strawberry leaves make maidens fair.
Who will you get to be the father for your child, pretty maid
with your white face and your yellow hair?
You will be his father, kind sir,
for strawberry leaves make maidens fair.
What will you do for clothes for your child?
with your white face and your yellow hair?
His father will be a tailor, kind sir,
for strawberry leaves make maidens fair.
