Some time ago I showed you a wild strawberry flower. During yesterday’s walk in the woods, I noticed that the strawberries were starting to ripen slowly.
Wild strawberries belong to the corneal family, ie. among perennial herbaceous plants that grow 5 to 20 inches, preferring clay soils. Where strawberry grows, almost no other plant species grows, as the plants overgrow the soil very densely, most often on forest edges. This also means that we can rent wild strawberries in one place without having to contact them deep in the woods. They are best freshly picked, as they contain a lot of vitamin C.
Good for our health are not only sweet, antioxidant-filled red fruits, which perfectly clean the blood, but also green stalked leaves, from which we can make delicious tea. This prevents diarrhea and eliminates gout and urinary stones. Tea made from filamentous roots has the same effect.

Growing up we always picked these in the woods.
I also remember picking wild strawberries and blueberries.
Wonderful memories to hold onto.
I’ve also tried wild strawberries this year but they’re just nothing sweet
I have a feeling you are very sweet. 😊
But the feeling doesn’t deceive you here … I really like sweet things
That’s why wild strawberries are certainly not sweet enough for you.
I usually make homemade strawberries for desserts
fresh strawberries are something we love! my dog actually eats strawberries now, when he first lived with us he wouldn’t eat fruit other than apples!
Very interesting. I hear for the first time that dogs eat fruit.
In the fall i always get a bushel of Apples. I sit on the couch watching American Football and slice the apple.
when my dog joined the family 8 years ago, he started eating the apples. So it was cut one for me, eat, one for me, eat, one for him.
then we got the second dog. She likes apples to.
so they sit, and I cut apples as fast as I can!
I laughed as I read your comment. I saw you sitting on the couch and slicing apples. Thanks. 😊
sadly they like apples, blueberries and strawberries. I have only found a few foods they will not eat (neither of them will eat olives)!
They do not get very big here at all. I didn’t know that you could make tea with the leaves and roots. I will have to hunt some down as it is the time of the year for them or maybe I just missed them. Good and informative article!
Thank you so much, Karen. I think you will find them again. Now they started working.
You are very welcome. Again, I enjoyed your post
We do not get them here. That is a pretty photo – the red in the green background is so artistic.
Thank you, Grace. We have a lot of these strawberries.
Beautiful photo! I love wild strawberries, they are very flavorful.
Thank you. Wild strawberries are tastier than others.
