fresón

large strawberry

noun freh-SOHN Rare

Usage Note

Fresón is an augmentative of fresa ('strawberry'), denoting a large cultivated strawberry — the kind typically sold in supermarkets, often associated with Huelva in Andalusia, Spain's main strawberry-growing region. In many Latin American countries, the large strawberry is simply called fresa, making fresón primarily a Spain-specific term. The diminutive fresita is used in Latin America as a term of endearment or for a very small berry.

Examples

"Compré un kilo de fresones en el mercado."

Natural Translation

I bought a kilo of large strawberries at the market.
