Fragaria vesca contains the ellagitannin agrimoniin, which is an isomer of sanguiin H-6. This compound is known for its antioxidant properties and potential health benefits.
The fruit of Fragaria vesca is strongly flavored and has been consumed by humans since the Stone Age. It is collected and grown for domestic use, commercial jam, sauces, liqueurs, cosmetics, and alternative medicine. The plant is also used as an indicator for diseases affecting garden strawberries and as a genetic model for studying the Rosaceae family.
