   Sweet Strawberries

   Strawberries are a sweet red fruit. They grow on low plants close to the ground. Each plant has green leaves and small white flowers. After the flowers fade, the berries begin to grow.

   A strawberry is different from most fruits. Its seeds are on the outside! One berry can have about two hundred tiny seeds. You can see them as little yellow dots on the skin.

   Strawberries are full of vitamin C. This vitamin helps keep your body healthy. One cup of strawberries has more vitamin C than one orange.

   I think strawberries are the best fruit of summer. They taste wonderful in a bowl with yogurt. My family picks them at a farm every June. Picking berries is the most fun job in the world!

   You can grow strawberries at home, too. They can be planted in a pot on a sunny porch. Everyone should try growing a strawberry plant at least once.
