People throw away so much strawberry in an effort to cut the leaves off. Just eat the leaves. Next time you go to eat a strawberry, try eating the leaves too - they're very mild in flavor, and you waste no strawberry!

You pince of the leaves. Where do you imagine the waste?

In at least some varieties of strawberries, the top of the berry has the least flavor and sweetness, and the bottom has the most, so I don't feel like I'm losing much.

Yes, that’s where the pesticide are. Can’t get enough pesticides.

I started chewing the leaves. There's a hint of strawberry in them.

I just hold it by the leaves in my fingers and take a huge bite of the entire berry with my teeth ending right before the leaves.
