Strawberries as a species appeared in Europe, according to various estimates, between 200 BC and 100 AD,
The first mention of strawberries is found in written sources of ancient Rome, where they were known as “fragaria vesca”, which means “fragrant edible”.
However, the strawberry as we know it today is the result of selection and hybridization of wild strawberry species.
Nowadays there are many varieties of strawberries, which differ in size, color, taste and other characteristics.
