The sweet, juicy, bright red strawberry is actually not really a fruit in the botanical sense but a swelling of the plant's
stalks that occurs after the flowers are pollinated. The real fruits are the 200 seeds, called achene, that cover the berry's
surface. The plant itself is a low growing perennial that produces horizontal runners, or stolons, that spread out from the
base and take root to form new plants.
Strawberries are high in vitamin C.
DOLE strawberries are grown in soilless culture and suspended in the air. This is the first time that strawberries are
being grown this way in the Philippines.
