Etymology
The word 'strawberry' originated from Old English 'streawberige', which was a combination of 'streaw' (meaning 'straw') and 'berige' (meaning 'berry'). This name may have come from the practice of growing strawberries under straw to protect the fruit. Strawberries have been cultivated and enjoyed for centuries, with records of them dating back to ancient Rome. They are a popular fruit worldwide and are often associated with summertime and freshness.
