According to SCMP, Ariel reportedly kept the berry in the freezer till the record was confirmed. In addition, the berry was picked from the family’s farm in central Israel, near the city of Netanya, in February of 2021, however, the record for ‘heaviest’ strawberry was only confirmed this week. The strawberry is reportedly a locally grown variety and is known for its big size.

Speaking to media about the record-breaking feat, Chahi Ariel said that keeping it in the freezer for almost a year has shrunken the size by half. Ariel added, “It’s no longer as pretty as it was”. Ariel further stated that the family is “very happy” to have their record documented in the world records.
