What fruit is associated with Valentine’s Day? 

There are many fruits associated with Valentine’s Day, but we’re sure you all know the most famous one without us even mentioning it. The humble strawberry has long been considered a staple on Valentine’s Day, and many other festivals that represent love, as we’ll see below. 

Other fruits that are associated with Valentine’s Day include:

• Raspberries
• Pink Lady Apples 
• Watermelon
• Lychees
• Figs
• Dragon fruit 
• Grapefruit
• Pomegranate

It’s no surprise these are mainly red and pink fruits, but all delicious in their own way. And you can enjoy many of these in our fruit baskets for Valentine’s Day. We’ll deliver them straight to your door in London, so you can enjoy a fresh, healthy and hearty breakfast in bed.

What fruit is the symbol of love?

You may think that the strawberry has only been associated with Valentine’s Day for a few decades. Ever since some genius decided to cover them in chocolate. However, the strawberry has actually been associated with love since Ancient Rome. 

Strawberries were considered the symbol of Venus in Ancient Rome. Venus was the goddess of love. Thanks to its beautiful bright red colouring and enticing sweet taste, the strawberry has, and likely always will be, considered the fruit of love. 

Our Valentine’s Day fruit hampers contain all of the strawberries you need to make this Valentine’s Day one to remember!
