Strawberries (Fragaria virginiana) are greatly valued fruits of temperate climates and are delicious but perishable. Many species of strawberries are grown, but the cultivated strawberry is of American origin. The juicy strawberry fruit is an enlarged receptacle (the end of the flowerstalk on which the parts of the flower are borne). Numerous achenes or seeds are embedded in the surface of the juicy receptacle. Many strawberries are heartshaped, others spherical. The fruits are firm, red- fleshed, and sweet. More than 50% of sugar in strawberries is glucose. The fruits contain mostly citric acid and some malic acid. The red colour of the fruits is due to an anthocyanin. Many volatile esters responsible for the flavour of the fruit are present in it. The fruits are a rich source of vitamin C, but the vitamin is rapidly lost when fruit is injured, cut, or juiced. Strawberries are mainly dessert fruits; they are also canned, frozen, and made into jams. They are a favourite in ice cream making and confectionery.

Hello, you used to write wonderful, but the last few posts have been kinda boringK I miss your super writings. Past several posts are just a little bit out of track! come on!
The very core of your writing whilst sounding agreeable at first, did not really settle well with me after some time. Somewhere within the paragraphs you managed to make me a believer but just for a short while. I still have got a problem with your jumps in assumptions and you might do nicely to help fill in those breaks. If you actually can accomplish that, I would surely be fascinated.
