Description:
Strawberries are a good source of vitamin C, but who cares nobody picks strawberries for vitamin C they just taste great. Why do Mr. V's strawberries taste so much better than those in the store? Because strawberries contain so much sugar when they are ripe they would rot on the way to the store, so commercial strawberry producers pick the berries when they are still green and the carbohydrate is still cellulose and hasn't yet converted to sugar. Once the strawberries arrive at the store the berries are artificially ripened with acetylene so they look great but the cellulose does not change to sugar and the strawberries taste like cardboard.
Mr. V's strawberries on the other hand are picked at the peak of their flavour, they don't have much shelf life, but who cares, the strawberries will be eaten by the time you get home.
