: : I was eatting a strawberry the other day, when I wondered where did the name come, can any offer a soloution to this question, where did teh anme strawberry come from????

: The berries seem to be strewn among the leaves of the plant. The plant first had the name strewberry, which later was changed to strawberry.
: One of many explanations I found but this one had the largest count.

I was told that farmers placed straw around the plants to keep the berries from the ground and to stop them from rotting!
