⚖️ Caution
Strawberries are a common allergen for some people, especially young children — introduce them carefully. Conventionally grown berries can carry pesticide residue, so rinse well and choose organic when you can.

Strawberries are the only fruit with their seeds on the outside — each one dotted with 200 or so tiny seeds across its surface.
