strawberry stems?
so, i just finished making a batch of strawberry soup, and when i was cleaning up, i found myself with a LOT of left over strawberry stems, and i found myself wondering, what could one do with all these strawberry parts? i don't recall ever hearing that they're toxic or anything, but i've never really seen or heard of anyone doing anything with them. the pack-rat in me wants to put them too good use, but i can't think of anything...should i just accept them as a loss?

I've heard they can have a laxative effect.

I give them to my rabbit. that or compost - I don't think they're much good for anything else.

@unarata, I feed them too my rabbit too! That was the first thing I thought. I don't know if they are toxic. But I dont think they taste very good, either...
