It is as big as a man’s palm. It weighs more than two baseballs. It is a winner!
The strawberry grew on a farm in Israel. It is the heaviest ever recorded.

Read More: The strawberry doesn’t look as big and juicy as it did when it was picked. Farmer Chahi Ariel says that it was in the freezer for nearly a year. It took Guinness World Records that long to declare the strawberry the heaviest ever recorded. It weighed just over 10 ounces when it was picked. That’s about as heavy as two Major League baseballs. How much jam might have been made with this berry? Read Galatians 5:22-23 to learn about the fruit of the Spirit.
