The stems and leaves are virtually tasteless and make eating strawberries easier. They even have nutritional value!
Why YSK: It’s an easy way to eat strawberries faster and with less mess while reducing food waste.

Well yippee, that’s handy. I have eaten apples whole for years, the same thought never occurred to me for strawberries.
“I would throw up NOW!”
Hopefully you spit out the seeds? They contain amygdalin, a substance that releases cyanide when it comes into contact with human digestive enzymes. A few apples worth of seeds isn’t enough to kill you or anything, and the seeds are apparently safe if you swallow them whole.
I’m confused. You comment looks like two different people making different points lol
FWIW I have eaten apples whole for years, and I have not died of cyanide poisoning yet.
Yeah something came up as I was typing out a wrap-up conclusion statement so I posted my comment as-is. Congratulations on your continued existence!
