Wild strawberries, known scientifically as Fragaria vesca, are small, sweet fruits that grow in the wild across various regions. They typically have a bright red color and are smaller than cultivated strawberries. These berries thrive in sunny areas, often found in meadows, forests, and along trails. The plants produce white flowers that attract pollinators like bees. Wild strawberries are rich in vitamins and antioxidants, making them a nutritious snack. They can be eaten fresh, used in jams, or added to desserts, offering a delightful burst of flavor in many dishes.
