The South Estonian strawberry glades are red, and in North Estonia wild strawberries will not go untasted. An indescribably rich aroma, enriched with the scents of the habitat. Summer.
 

Botanically the strawberry berry is a false fruit or pseudocarp. The most delicious part, the red, delicate and fragrant fruit body is actually the remains of the flower of the strawberry plant, and the little seeds on the fruit are nutlets that hide the seed of the strawberry inside. A strawberry plant does not need being described for anyone. The  taste experiences will go on for at least a month.
