			===In Space===
			While strawberries are not the most effective or efficient crop for space, they are sweet and would not require much work to increase variation in diet. Some ideal traits for the use of strawberries in space is that compared to other plants, strawberry plants are small, they are easy to prepare, and they produce little waste.<ref name=":0">Wallheimer, Brian.

Jeff Richards, a plant physiologist working with a company in conjunction with NASA, says that for the aroma of strawberries, "the benefits are just immeasurable". Furthermore, strawberries produce antioxidants that may reduce cellular oxidative stress caused by the background radiation in space.<ref>Marconi, Elaine M.

			Purdue University has worked to select a breed of strawberry for space under the direction of professor of horticulture Cary Mitchell. The [[Seascape Strawberry\|Seascape]] variety of strawberry stood out for best meeting the requirements for crops in space.<ref name=":0" />

The common '''garden strawberry''' is a hybrid fruit growing on a small plant. Because it produces a large amount of tasty fruit in a small garden, it is a favourite of urban gardeners and potentially of spacefarers.
