• Question

  Many people with diverticulitis are under the impression that they can't eat foods with seeds. Although this does not seem to research based the practice seems to persist. I want to know how I can grow seedless strawberries?

  Answer

  Dear markstarmount, the seed-like structures that you consume when you eat a strawberry are actually fruits (called achenes) that are embedded on an expanded, fleshy receptacle. Therefore, you are actually trying to grow "fruitless" strawberries, which I do not believe can be done (at least it is nothing I have ever seen accomplished). Best wishes.
