strawberries
n. countablen. sweet, red, heart-shaped fruits with tiny seeds on the outside. You often eat them fresh in the summer or use them to make jam.
n. the edible, succulent, red aggregate fruits of plants in the genus Fragaria. Characterised by their external achenes and sweet, slightly acidic flavour profile.
I love eating fresh strawberries with cream in the summer.
The local farm allows families to pick their own strawberries during the peak harvest season in June.
While often treated as berries in culinary contexts, strawberries are botanically classified as aggregate accessory fruits because their flesh derives from the receptacle rather than the ovaries.
Usually used in the plural when referring to the fruit as a food item; the singular form often refers to the plant or the flavour.
