April 29, 2022 By The Chocolate Truffle

Strawberry season is here and what better way to join in on the fun than with some juicy strawberry facts? Get your hands on our hand-dipped chocolate-covered strawberries first, then take a bite out of these facts! 

With your choice of milk, or dark chocolate, you can’t go wrong with a batch of our chocolate-covered strawberries. Whether they are a gift for a loved one, or a treat for yourself make sure you order them quickly! 

Our chocolate-covered strawberries are made fresh and made to order and cannot be shipped, so be sure to plan ahead.

Now that’s chocolate-covered … here we go! Let’s test your knowledge of the sweet, seeded strawberry!

  1. On the average strawberry, there are 200 seeds! Strawberry seeds can grow into new plants, but strawberry plants also propagate through runners!
  1. Strawberries aren’t berries at all! Strawberries are in a category called “accessory fruits.”
  1. Strawberries are considered a member of the rose family as they give off a sweet fragrance while growing! Its botanical name is Fragaria which means fragrance! How fitting!
  1. There are three different types of strawberries! June-bearing, ever-bearing, and day-neutral strawberries all have a different length of time and duration for bearing fruit.
  1. Belgium has a museum solely dedicated to strawberries!
  1. Strawberries are grown in every state in the United States, but California produces the most!
  1. Strawberries are the first fruit to ripen in the spring.
  1. Individual Americans consume an average of 3.4 pounds of fresh strawberries every year. That’s a lot of strawberries!
  1. Strawberries taste sweeter at room temperature.
  1. Strawberries are high in Vitamin C!

How many did you know out of ten?! Now that you’ve probably polished off a chocolate-covered strawberry or two … grab another!
