California produces 75 percent of the nation's strawberry crops.
In 2018, the most strawberries were produced by China (2.7 million tons), followed by the United States (1.2 million tons) and Mexico (0.59 million tons).
Fisetin has been shown in laboratory studies to extend the life of yeast, worms, flies, and mice.
Strawberry season in Belgium is a big deal, particularly in the town of Wépion, where the Musée de la Fraise ("Strawberry Museum") tells the history of strawberry production in the region and explains its importance to the economy and culture of Wépion. The museum also boasts a gift shop where visitors can buy everything from strawberry jam to strawberry beer. (It is Belgium, after all.)
