Is there such a thing as wild strawberry's and can you eat them?

Question

I find these plants that look like strawberry plants but the fruit is round and bright red I'm wondering if they are wild strawberrys?

Answer 1

I agree about not eating anything you're uncertain about, but yes, strawberries do in fact grow wildly. They also are much smaller and more round than an average strawberry. They actually look much more like raspberries than strawberries.

This should help!

Answer 2

yes there are such things as wild strawberrys, and yes you can eat them. as to whether the plants you have found are strawberrys or not is another matter

Answer 3

Yes and yes.... to further explain......... Wild strawberries grow in many places and altitudes and are found at farious times in various locations. Bears often survive in the wild on them. They are perfectly OK to eat. Yummy with sugar...but... most are very tiny compared to the variety grown commercially and available in the stores. Happy hunting for a patch or 2...and unless its really big... don't share the secret when you find one. :)
