Question 1: True or False- Strawberries are the only fruit with seeds on the outside
Answer: True!
Strawberries, unlike most fruits, have a unique twist in their seed arrangement. While many fruits keep their seeds hidden within, strawberries proudly display theirs on the outside. In the world of fruits, strawberries stand out as the rebels with seeds on the exterior. So, the next time you enjoy a juicy strawberry, take a moment to appreciate this quirky feature that sets them apart from the rest of the fruity bunch!
Question 2: How many days does it take for a strawberry bloom to become a ripe berry?
A: 30 Days
B: 15 Days
C: 21 Days
D: 10 Days
Answer: 21 days
From the moment they bloom, strawberries have a swift 21-day journey to ripe berry perfection. A bonus fun fact is that strawberries do not continue to ripen after they’re picked, which is why we make it our mission to always pick the most ripe, bright red berries for you to enjoy!
Question 3: True or False- A serving of strawberries has more vitamin C than an orange
Answer: True
In need of a Vitamin C boost? Snack on some strawberries! While oranges take all the credit for being sources of Vitamin C, strawberries contain more Vitamin C per milligram than oranges.
