Wild Strawberry – Edible or Not

Q: Are wild strawberries edible?
A: If you’re referring to the lawn weed we commonly call wild strawberry, Potentilla indica, the fruits are edible but they have no taste I can discern. Another name for this plant is Indian mock strawberry. Although its yellow flower is pretty, most folks pull it out of their flower beds.
