[QUOTE="bluumz, post: 11286836, member: 649"]Emery-filled strawberries are used for sharpening sewing needles. You push the needle in and out a few times while rotating it. That's why there is often a little strawberry hanging off of the classic tomato pincushion. If your strawberry is filled with emery, it would feel like it's packed with sand.
