A farmer from Fukuoka Prefecture has broken the record for the world’s heaviest strawberry, which was previously held by a British grower, The Telegraph reported on 18 May.
Weighing 250g, 8cm high, 12cm long and 25–30cm in circumference, the fruit is the natural result of multiple Amaou strawberries having grown together.
Grower Koji Nakao’s daughter was the first to try the strawberry and said it was delicious.
The previous holder of the Guinness World Record is recorded as G Anderson, who took his place in 1983.
