The strawberry (Fragaria × ananassa) is a widely grown hybrid species of the genus Fragaria, collectively known as the strawberries. It is cultivated worldwide for its fruit. The fruit is widely appreciated for its characteristic aroma, bright red color, juicy texture, and sweetness; it is consumed in large quantities, either fresh or in prepared foods such as preserves, fruit juice, pies, ice creams, and milkshakes. Artificial strawberry flavor is also widely used in many products like candies, ice creams, and many printed strawberry flavored products. The garden strawberry was first bred in Brittany, France, in the 1750s via a cross of a species native to North America, Fragaria virginiana, with the South American species, Fragaria chiloensis (the beach strawberry, or Chilean strawberry). The strawberry is not, from a botanical point of view, a berry. Technically, it is an aggregate accessory fruit, meaning that the fleshy part is derived not from the plant's ovaries but from the receptacle that holds the ovaries. Each apparent "seed" (achene) on the outside of the fruit is actually one true fruit. In Hebrew, the strawberry is called תות (tut). In Spanish, it is known as fresa, in French as fraise, in German as Erdbeere, and in Japanese as いちご (ichigo).
