    The bottom strawberry has about negative one day shelf life. Freeze or use asap. I get a local variety each year from a stand and they turn fast and are only available for short periods of time in the summer.

    The top strawberry is probably already a few days old and possibly been frozen and thawed more than once in shipment. These are often grown year round so: off season availability.

      Yeah the bottom one looks much more delicious but it’s a “buy it and eat it as you walk away from the stand” kind of thing.

        Let’s not pretend strawberries aren’t eaten right away once bought, just give me enough time to get the ice cream and the whipped cream

      We have strawberries in our garden, and this is pretty much the case. You either eat/use it when it’s ripe or freeze it.
