A strawberry can be grown by players at level 31 Farming. Players gain 26 Farming experience for planting 3 strawberry seeds in an allotment and gain 29 Farming experience for each berry harvested. Strawberries heal 7% of a player's maximum Life points when eaten. A player with maximum Constitution will recover 69 life points from a strawberry.

With maximum constitution, and the Nex armour life point bonus, boosting your life point cap to 1390, each strawberry heals 93 life points as seen during testing. The effectiveness goes even further to 94 life points, if the constitution cape bonus is active.

Up to 5 strawberries may be put in a fruit basket. A basket of apples is payment for a farmer to watch over a strawberry patch. Three baskets full of strawberries is the payment for a farmer to watch over the dwellberry bush and orange tree in the Farming skill. They are also an ingredient for making Summer pies at level 95 Cooking. Putting strawberries in a compost bin will make normal compost.

A basket of strawberries (which costs coins) is one of the most effective healing item a player can hold in their inventory space; it can heal up to 345 life points in 5 bites (69 life points per strawberry multiplied by 5 strawberries), which, in the end, is more health than a rocktail at 230, as well as extraordinarily cheap. While they are impractical for more dangerous activities where on-demand health is better, strawberry baskets are extremely useful for low damage activities such as Agility training. Because strawberries heal 7% of a players maximum life points, a basket of strawberries will only heal more than a rocktail if the player has over level 66 constitution. However, they still remain far more cost efficient.

Trivia

• The value of one Strawberry in Mobilising Armies is 4 Investment Credits.
• With 99 constitution and Nex armour's 400 life point boost, a strawberry heals 93 life points, 94, if the constitution cape boost is in effect. The amount healed is further raised by wearing or holding the expensive spices reward from Let Them Eat Pie, to 104 translating into 520 life points per basket.
