The strawberry is a member of the rose family, and has grown in the wild for many centuries, across Europe, Asia and the Americas. It is difficult to trace the origin of the strawberry, as it is known that they were grown right back in Roman times as far back as 200 B.C. The modern Garden strawberry is believed to have been first cultivated in the late 13th Century and is a result of years of cross-breeding North America's main variety (the wild Virginis strawberry) with a variety from South America - most likely Chile. There is, however, no single variety of strawberry grown around the world - there are some 20 varieties cultivated for the modern market. As for the name itself: "strawberry" may come from the fact that straw was spread around the plant to protect the small, delicate fruit.
