We’ve all heard about fish stories (“It was HUGE but it got away at the last second!”). Well, this is a strawberry story: It was HUGE but it didn’t get away. In fact, after it was grown (10.19 ounces), it was stored away in Israeli farmer Ariel Chahi’s freezer. The amazing strawberry won Chahi a coveted place in the Guinness World Records book.
Quote: “Chahi Ariel had been hoping he was on to a winner when he saw how big the fruit were growing on his family farm last year. He has been waiting for confirmation it was a record while keeping the giant strawberry in the freezer as proof.”
