Strawberries are in season from June to August or January to March.

Generally, the flowering time of naturally grown strawberries is from May to June, and the fruiting time is from June to August; while the flowering time of greenhouse strawberries is from November to December or May to June, and the fruiting time is January to March or June to August. Strawberries are a relatively common fruit. The climate in each region is different, and there will be certain differences in the ripening and seasonal times.

If you look carefully, you will find that many strawberries are on the market around December every year. Although it is not summer, due to the rapid development of agricultural greenhouse technology, there are many out-of-season fruits. Strawberries are one of them. Most of the strawberries in December are large pots of strawberries, which taste sweet. However, compared to the strawberries in season, the strawberries in December taste more sour.

Generally, the frozen seedlings of Dandong strawberries will begin to mature in mid-October and can continue until June of the next year, so you can also eat Dandong strawberries in December.

Strawberry purchasing tips:

First of all, we need to look at the color of strawberry seeds. Naturally ripe strawberries, no matter how long they have been grown, have golden-yellow seeds, so be sure to choose strawberries with golden-yellow seeds when purchasing. If the color of the strawberry seeds is red, it is likely that they have been sprayed with a ripening agent.

Secondly, we need to look at the shape of the strawberry. Normal strawberries are relatively symmetrical in size and very similar in shape. The shape of this premium strawberry is a cone, or long cone. When choosing strawberries, if you find that many strawberries have strange shapes, it is most likely caused by the use of hormones, so the shape of the strawberries must be distinguished.

It depends on the color of the strawberry fruit stem. Normally ripe strawberries ripen from the top. When choosing strawberries, if you find that the top is green and the bottom is red, it is likely that they have been sprayed with a ripening agent. Therefore, when buying strawberries, you should choose strawberries whose entire color is red and relatively uniform. These strawberries have naturally ripe sweetness and good taste.
