Fragaria vesca, commonly known as wild strawberry, is a perennial plant native to Europe, Asia, and North America. It typically grows in wooded areas, meadows, and along roadsides. The plant features small, white flowers and produces small, sweet red berries that are edible and often enjoyed fresh or in desserts. Wild strawberries are known for their high vitamin C content and antioxidant properties. They are smaller than cultivated strawberries but are prized for their intense flavor. Fragaria vesca also plays a role in local ecosystems, providing food for various wildlife, including birds and insects.
