A '''strawberry''' is a small, [[red]] [[fruit]]. It grows above ground on small [[bush]]es and is slightly [[cone]] shaped. It has small [[yellow]] [[seed]]s which, unlike most berries, are on the outside of the fruit. Wild strawberries are generally very small, but domesticated fruits are much larger. Strawberries have played an important role in [[cooking]] and baking in [[Europe]] and [[North America]] for centuries. In [[botany]], despite what the name may suggest, a strawberry is not a berry.<ref>{{cite book|date=January/February 2017|publisher=Food|page=119|title=Did You Know...}}</ref> | A '''strawberry''' is a small, [[red]] [[fruit]].
