The world’s heaviest strawberry – level 2

The world s heaviest strawberry

04-03-2022 07:00

A farmer in Israel grew the world’s heaviest strawberry. The strawberry was 18 centimeters long, and it weighed 289 grams, which was about five times more than a normal strawberry.

Cold weather was the reason why the strawberry grew so big. It didn’t ripen quickly, and it kept growing bigger and bigger. The man saw how big the strawberry was, and he thought that it could be a new world record. When he harvested the fruit, he put it in the freezer, and he waited for a message from the Guinness World Records. When he knew that he won, he took the fruit out of the freezer, and he showed it to everyone.

The previous world record strawberry grew in Japan in 2015, and it weighed 250 grams.

Difficult words: ripen (when fruit becomes ready to eat), harvest (to pick the fruit when it is ready to eat), previous (the one before the last).
