Strawberries are a widely grown fruit of the hybrid Fragaria. Strawberries belong to the soft-fruits group and are considered the best of berries. The fruit has a delicate shape from oblate to short-wedge, with sizes that vary with variety. Its outer skin is bright red, and the fruit itself is sweet, juicy, aromatic, with around 200 edible seeds. The Egyptian strawberry plant is short and grows to a maximum of 12 inches. The leaves sizes vary according to season; the old leaves that are dark green die in winter, and the young bright green ones grow in spring. The fruit size is 2 inches long, with just over an inch in diameter. 

Egypt has 5,245 hectares of its land covered with strawberry produce. The governorates that grow strawberries are Ismailia, Beheira, and Qaluobia.
