The food we consume now has little resemblance past a visual one (and even not that in some cases), to food of the past.

When did strawberries change?

Looks like we first cultivated "garden strawberries" in 1714[1]. Before that we just had "wild strawberries", which are small and not very sweet. I don't know now they've changed nutritionally (probably more sugar), and I doubt they've changed chemically.
