It’s interesting that they got some varieties. Some are supposedly sweeter, some have more sourness, etc. We could try to compare and taste differences. Hum hum.

Did you know?

See some strawberries got powder? It is kind of a molds but totally harmless. No worries. (I thought it was sugar from berries!)

Lastly

How do you find it?  Turns out, I rushed and got full very soon. You know, strawberries have so much juice. My only advice is do not rush, slow down, take your time. Check farms near you and try it before the season ends!

See you around!
