I live in the Northeastern US. The best strawberries I ever get are grown in Quebec during the summer months. They're small - not fuckhuge like those grown in California and shipped across the country - but they're juicy and ripe and they last about a week.

Aside from picking your own strawberries (which I have done sometimes) buying local strawberries in season is best

I'm American and after living overseas for a few years, buying fruit is almost always an infuriating experience now that I'm back.

For the most part we are stuck with fruits that are consistently mediocre, like bananas and cantaloupes. Or we get a crap shoot of fruit that is occasionally good like strawberries, watermelon, and oranges, but usually flavorless and often times outright bad (see the mango in US stores). Going to a high end place improves your odds a little, but fruit in the US tends to be garbage overall. The only glimmer of hope I've seen is that people are waking up to how straight up trash apples were and theres a bigger variety of non-garbage ones to actually buy. Hopefully this spreads to other fruits. Maybe one day we won't need brand name fruits for them to not be shit because the quality will just be better over all

Wash the damned things in a vinegar solution (1 part vinegar-3 parts cold tap water) for 2 or 3 minutes. Drain well, let dry on layers of paper towels. Store in fridge. Consume within 2-3 days before shit goes bad. No, you silly spuurglord, it won't change the taste.

Small-to-medium American city with 400,000 people, locally-owned farms and orchards outside of town, and family 100 miles south that owned their own farms, retard. I just had the benefit of a family that cared enough to show me where food came from, and how to put in the work to get something good. Must have sucked for you growing up without access to fresh food or parents that gave a shit about teaching you anything.
