Israeli farmer Chahi Ariel has grown the world’s heaviest strawberry, according to Guinness World Records.

根據《金氏世界紀錄大全》,以色列農夫查希.埃里兒種出全世界最重的草莓。

At 289 grams, the strawberry was about five times the average weight of a regular berry of the local Ilan variety, said Nir Dai, a researcher at Israel’s Volcani Institute where the strain was developed.

重達289公克,服務於研發該品種的以色列「火山中心」研究人員尼爾.戴說,這顆草莓約是當地「伊蘭」品種正常苺果平均重量的5倍。

The strawberry was 18 cm long and 34 cm in circumference, the online Guinness entry said.

網路上的金氏登錄資料說,這顆草莓18公分長、圓周為34公分。

Ariel had been hoping he was onto a winner when they saw how big the fruit were growing on his family farm last year. He has been waiting for confirmation it was a record while keeping the giant strawberry in the freezer as proof.

埃里兒去年看到家族農場的水果生長尺寸後,一直期盼成為贏家。等著紀錄確認的同時,他把這顆大草莓放進冰箱保存當證據。

Unusually cold weather in early 2021 slowed the strawberry’s ripening process, allowing it to continue gaining weight, according to the record book’s website.(Reuters)

根據這本紀錄冊的網站,2021年初不尋常的寒冷天氣延緩了這顆草莓的熟化過程,讓它得以繼續變重。(路透)
