Berry Trivia

*There is an average of 200 seeds on each strawberry and technically each yellow seed is an individual fruit itself.

*It would take 7,000 strawberries to create the red carpet that welcomes the stars to the Academy Awards every year.

*Strawberry juice combined with honey will reduce inflammation or sunburn. Rub the mixture thoroughly into the skin before rinsing off with warm water and lemon juice.
