Strawberries are a sweet fresh berry. They are light and only a little filling, but they cheer the character up. They also go into cakes, fruit salads, pancakes, oatmeal and sweet pies.

Strawberries spoil fast, within a few days. They are a common find at grocery stands, produce crates and ice cream shops, and a farm can grow them. The Farmer is the best occupation for fruits and vegetables. It starts with the most Agriculture skill.

Eating

Strawberries lower hunger by 5 and lower unhappiness by 10. They also ease thirst a little. A handful holds only 4 calories, so they do almost nothing for body weight.

That makes them a mood food more than a meal. They are a quick lift on a bad day. Their good effects turn bad as they start to spoil.

The table shows the game figures for one serving. Negative hunger and thirst fill the character up, and negative unhappiness and boredom cheer them up.

Cooking

Strawberries add 5 hunger to each dish they go into. They work in a Cake, Fruit Salad, Pancakes, Oatmeal, a sweet Pie, a Salad and an Ice Cream Cone. They can even go into a Hot Drink.

The Collect Seeds recipe takes Strawberry Seeds from the berries. It needs tweezers, a dull knife or a sharp knife, which is kept. That gives seed for a strawberry patch.

These dishes take Strawberries as an ingredient, with the hunger it restores in each.

Farming

A strawberry plant takes about 15 days to grow and gives 4 to 6 strawberries at harvest. Seed comes from the Collect Seeds recipe.

The sowing season runs from February to April, and March is the best month to plant. Strawberries planted from July through January do poorly.

Storage

Strawberries stay fresh for 2 days and are rotten by day 5. A fridge slows both counts. They are best eaten or cooked soon after picking.

Locations

Strawberries are a common find. Produce crates almost always hold them. Gigamart and grocery store stands carry them more than half the time, as do ice cream shop fridges. Cafeteria stands and produce storage rooms hold them about one time in three.

Crepe kitchens, bakery fridges, donut shop fridges and Italian kitchen fridges turn them up now and then. Restaurant fridges and house fridges are a rare find.
