1 What is “Strawberry picking”?

Strawberry picking is a form of grabbing and eating strawberries in a greenhouse or farm within a set time. You can eat as many strawberries as you like within the time limit.

It can be enjoyed by children and adults and is memorable. I see many people taking pictures of strawberry picking and posting them on Instagram, but it seems to be very fun. Also, it is a good opportunity to eat fresh strawberries and various varieties of strawberries. This is something that can only be experienced by strawberry picking.

In this way, Strawberry picking has many attractions.

2 How to distinguish delicious strawberries

The best time to go strawberry picking is from January to March. However, be careful as it may be crowded during this time.

Larger strawberries are often sweeter. This is because larger strawberries are full of sugar and nutrients. Also, it is better to choose a flat tip rather than a sharp one.

And the one that is dark red and glossy as a whole is good. As this time, you should also check that the calyx is red near the calyx. If the calyx is deeply warped, it is a fresh sign.

You should remember these things when you go strawberry picking.
