Etymology

The word 'strawberry' originates from Old English 'streawberige', which was a compound of 'streaw' (meaning 'straw') and 'berige' (meaning 'berry'). This name potentially comes from the practice of mulching strawberries with straw to protect them during the winter. Strawberries have been cultivated and enjoyed for centuries, with evidence of them being used for food, medicine, and decoration dating back to ancient Roman times.
