1 hour ago, dscheidt said:Even the Driscoll strawberries from FL tend to be okay. I had some for breakfast. (The CA ones are awful, at least by the time they get to chicago. I assume this is because Driscoll grow strawberry shaped Styrofoam blobs, instead of fruit, because they ship better. Other growers from CA are better, but tend to have more damaged fruit.) There also tends to be a very brief moment when they're shockingly cheap.
Agree with all. I hoped to make clear that I was basically referring to the large, commercial operations, like Foxy and Driscoll and maybe Naturipe (which I see a lot at Traders).
Anything local, small-farmed, etc. is going to be better than the styrofoam, which are basically crap.
