Are you supposed to eat the leaves on the strawberries?

I eat the shrimp shells when I'm having deep-fried salt and pepper shrimp from the Chinese restaurant but that's because the shells are seasoned, you'd be throwing away good taste by not eating the shells.
Why would "store bought chunks" be more flavourful than "fresh raw strawberries"?

Supposed to? It's fruit, there are no rules.
That said, I don't like the leaves, so I don't eat them.

Why peel a Kiwifruit? Jab it in half with a spoon and scoop the inside out of your new convenient furry cups.
It sounds like you're eating out of season, or hydroponically-grown strawberries. Fresh, raw strawberries (especially those grown during the spring/summer) are extremely sweet and delicious.
Umm. No.
My Dad used to cut up the strawberries, put them in a bowl, pour sugar on them, stir them up, and put them in the fridge. Eat hem after a few hours. So good.

Macerated strawberries are basically the same topping as you'd get on something like strawberry short cake or cheesecake.
For real, it is way more convenient to not have to mess with spoon too.
i got one of these too, looks like this thowe have something like this for pulling out the stem/leaves
I eat the leaves. It isn't that strange. I like the flavor of the entire package.
And why waste free nutrients?

now im not sure if you should be eating the entire package
there's microplastics and then there's MACROPLASTICS
Random info about strawberries no one asked for:
-The more white/pale area you see around the leaves, the further away from fully ripe the strawberries were when they were picked, so go for ones with as little pale area as possible, and consume them as quickly as you can.
-Smaller strawberries tend to be sweeter than large ones due to the ratio of water held within the fruit meat.
-Quickly rinsing them in water+vinegar before putting them in the fridge makes them keep slightly longer because the surface becomes alkaline.
-Even if you do the little soaking trick to "get the bugs out" of them, you're still eating bugs every time you eat any fruit or veggie because it's nearly impossible not to.

Of course you can, but you're not getting extra nutrients and it's not gonna positively impact taste or consistency/texture. I usually cut the back end off just enough to remove any white as that portion has a slightly different flavor that I don't particularly want. Or I'll grip the leaves and just bite as far back as I can get, which usually gets more fruit than cutting.
They are edible, but taste different. I would not use /eat them at the same time.
They could be used as a herb with other food, like with meat, or as part of a sauce combo
Possibly the best idea would be to dehydrate them, and put them though a coffee grinder, and add the powder to a stew

Do you know the definition of nemesis?now im not sure if you should be eating the entire package

That device is pulling out most of the Strawberry innards, what a waste! Is it so hard to pull off a few leaves with your fingertips / claws?i got one of these too, looks like this tho
Guys, You Should Really Be Eating Your Strawberry Tops
For your entire life, you?ve probably been cutting off and throwing out your strawberry tops. (Us too.) Turns out, though, they?re edible?and healthy.

Only if they're fuzzy.
I had a babysitter that yelled at me and called me crazy for getting rid of the sweetest part. She was right, but I still do it from time to time.
As a kid I used to use a straw.i got one of these too, looks like this tho

Is this an American thing? Cuz like, you know, fruit already has natural sugar.
Dipping them in chocolate is fine as an indulgent treat but sugar? Eeeeeek.
It's like the first step to making any fruit into a candied version of itself. As someone else pointed out it's how you get the strawberry, blueberry, raspberry etc drizzle they pour onto things like cheesecake
I'm not American and I think it's a pretty normal thing to do if you find a strawberry too tart (at least it was when I was growing up.)
It's possible you just aren't getting good fresh strawberries, but for what it's worth this kind of experience with the whole, natural version of a food is often a strong indicator you need to cut back on the processed food in your diet.

Indeed. I'm doing my best to start changing my diet since this year's late Spring. I've started going to the gym, and trying to improve my wellbeing, albeit slowly.
No, it's not a joke. I'm seriously asking this. I'm just trying to change my lifestyle for this 2022 new year's resolution right now.
They are edible but not very nice.
Also +1 for the kiwi skin gang. The fuzz seems to help thicken up smoothies too. Strawberry, banana, kiwi, yoghurt, milk and ice in a blender is a good time. There's a lot of fiber and nutrients in fruit skins, I always eat the ones I can. I also eat roast pumpkin skins when they're all crispy and delicius. Carrots and potatoes are better skin on too.
