Are strawberries white tiny particles not seeds?
New Member
Those tiny white particles are called achenes, which are the fruit's ovaries. Strawberries develop runners as they grow, which eventually move to the root and produce new strawberry plants.
In wild strawberries, there are more runners, which means there are more young plants produced. Strawberry plants belong to the Rosaceae family.

- The white particles on strawberries are actually called achenes. Achenes are little, seed-like particles that appear on the surface of aggregation fruits. They are part of the strawberry's reproductive system.
- While they might look like seeds, they are not similar. Achenes are essentially fruits, however they are not flavorful. It does not contain pericarp (exocarp, mesocarp, or endocarp).
- All it contains is the seed, which was essentially the ovule before pollination. So, achenes are the fruit's ovaries that carry the seeds.
- Every achene carries a small seed that may grow into a new plant.
