Origins
Strawberry (Fragaria vesca) is an herb familiar from the edges of forests and meadows. Its red fruit is a crucial part of every summer. They're fragrant and attract not only us but also wildlife. It is widespread in Europe, Asia and America, and because strawberry is one of the most popular fruits in the world, it has been bred into several species.
Humans have indulged in strawberries since the Stone Age. In ancient times, monks often cultivated strawberry plants in their gardens. Much of the credit for the strawberry plant as we know it today is due to a man named Antonio Duchesne, a French botanist who worked in the gardens of Versailles at the turn of the 18th and 19th centuries. He bred a hardy strawberry plant which produced large, sweet strawberries with a delightful aroma.
But back to the strawberry plant. It's a perennial, it grows to a maximum of 20cm, blooms with white flowers, and its fruit is an achene. It has 3-5-lobed leaves with serrated edges. Because they are rich in vitamin C, potassium, tannins and flavonoids, they're dried and used in many tea blends.
When you make a drink from strawberry leaves, you get an effective way of promoting normal digestion, especially if you suffer with diarrhea.
