Well done you for teaching me things I didn't know! I shall bear this in mind and buy more strawberries as it will help both myself and my husband who ails from all kinds of things. An aunt and uncle of mine used to live in a lovely village in Essex where there was a huge, and very well respected jam factory. At certain times of the year the public were allowed in to the fields to pick as much fruit as they wanted - for free! I took my daughter along when she was small and she still remembers it today, now a mother herself. Long live strawberries, or whatever they call them! Thank you for this post.
