🍓 Thursday Trivia Answer 🍓

The correct answer is… A) Achenes! 🤓

Those tiny yellow “seeds” on the outside of a strawberry are actually called achenes — and each one is technically its own tiny fruit! That’s why strawberries are classified as an “aggregate fruit” rather than a true botanical berry. 🍓✨

🍓✨ Trivia Thursday Answer! ✨🍓

✅ Answer: C) Turning them into jams and preserves 🍓

These sweet treats helped families enjoy the flavors of summer all through the long Adirondack winters - and many local traditions are still carried on today! 🍓🏔️
