Strawberries are grown for consumption and for processing into frozen or canned berries or as syrup/juice. Considering their perishable nature and the probability of mechanical picking, they are mostly grown near the place where they are processed. They are harvested directly in small baskets and then processed.
They are highly perishable and require cold and dry storage.
When shopping, look for bright red fruits. Strawberries do not ripen after they are picked, so what you see is what you get. Be careful of the leaves, always choose those fruits that have fresh green leaves, because after harvesting the green leaves will start to dry and wither. The older the fruit, the more wilted the leaves will look.
Fresh green leaves mean that the fruits are also fresh. Look for fleshier strawberries because they have more natural juice that will enrich your winter garden. If the fruits start to look “dry” or shriveled, they are old. Different varieties of strawberries grow in different sizes, and the size of the fruit itself is affected by the weather and growing conditions. Smaller strawberries are often sweeter, but larger ones yield much more juice.
