Are strawberries overrated? They can be quite sour and they've got that stupid greenery on them
>>21945572>They can be quite sourthey're often underripe. properly ripe strawberries are great.
>>21945572nah they're pretty great
>>21945585Oh really? I got package of fruits from Walmart and all the strawberries were sour
i dont buy them at regular stores, they're usually imported from spain - they're bigger, but not as tasty as the local ones (no sunset in summer + colder).
In season strawberries are God Tier. Out of season strawberries are tasteless trash.
>>21945589yeah i usually shop at walmart but strawberries are one thing i've noticed consistently being better at more expensive stores unfortunately. if you can go to a more expensive store when strawberries are in season and try them you'll probably notice a huge difference.
>>21945589>perishables from wal-martthere's your problem
>>21945589>disgusting GMO garbage strawberries from Walmartdon't.
>>21945600>>21945598Yeah I've only ever had Walmart fruits. Sometimes I'd get a sour blueberry or grape, but most times they're nice. I will say, the few sweet strawberries I've had in my lifetime were nice
>>21945572They are also not actually berries, those subversive elements.Don't trust them.
>>21945585>properly ripe strawberriesthe problem is that the amount of time they are properly ripe is measured in femtoseconds.but yeah, a good strawberry is really damn good
>>21945604>GMOvirtually every piece of produce in modern times is GMO in some way, but i know that's not going to stop you from misusing and fearmongering with the term
>>21945636True, also in the non misused sense"non-GMO" = GMO but on a high levelAt latest since the CRISPR/CAS-tech organisms can be genetically manipulated in controlled manner without any marker genes, any kind of detection is with this already destined to fail. They have reached every layer of food production.Of course the UNcontrolled manipulation has existed for decades, with the plants and seeds being carried to the friendly neighbourhood nuclear power plant and exposed to the reactor's radiation doing GOD KNOWS WHAT to the genome and then planting and checking the results - something which apparently nobody cares about.
>>21945636GMO is negative in this sense, hopefully you understand that and can tone down your redditbrain for 30 seconds to realize GMO = bad when it results in shitty, flavourless food.
>>21945677>GMO = bad when it results in shitty, flavourless food.it has way more to do the cheap shitty suppliers that wal-mart's merchandising team buys from, but again, i know that's not going to stop you from seething about something you barely understand.
>>21945695You're literally changing the subject from GMO food to "supplier" issues. What's it matter if the end result is shitty GMO berries that taste like grass?
>>21945699>You're literally changing the subject from GMO food to "supplier" issues.that's because it has nothing to do with GMO products. wal-mart could easily buy good strawberries out of season from some place in south america but they don't want to because that means shareholders will have to suffer a .001% in decline in profit.
>>21945737The foul taste of the strawberry is the point of this discussion, not geopolitics and stock markets. I told you to get off Reddit.
>>21945744>if someone uses a tool poorly, that means the tool is shityeah...you don't have the intellect to be having this conversation. here's your last (You) from me.
>yeah...you don't have the intellect to be having this conversation. here's your last (You) from me.
if you walk by the strawberries in the produce section and don't get hit by the aroma of strawberries, they are not worth buying
>>21945589I think strawberries tend to be less sweet when the plants are stressed (bad soil, planting too closely) as well.
>>21945572I'm hungover, I wish I had a huge bowl of strawberries in front of me right now. >Overratedno! >>21945744People really are overusing Reddit as an insult lately. Maybe people should start calling things Quora or something.
Real good strawberries are expensive. Strawberries go bad fast, they get squished during transport and they only grow for a short time period.The stuff you can buy in a store all year around is a genetically modified strawberry designed to be very tough and not rot. It looks really good, it's big and really red, but it tastes like water. A lot of plants are like this. Tomatoes are like this. Apples are like this.
>>21945589>Walmartstop giving them money, retard.they need to go out of business so the trash is forced to behave again.
>>21945636>virtually every piece of produce in modern times is GMOthat's not how definitions work.
Pineapple mogs strawberry
Strawberries only recently got good where I live. For my entire life strawberries were like WHITE on the inside and flavorless and fucking sucked. I am guessing they put in a new greenhouse near me or some shit. Because the best strawberries are in the winter and in the summer they go back to being flavorless
>>21946571You talk like an actual loser. Do you talk shit online to make yourself feel better? Could it be you're self conscious about your inability to properly talk to people?
>>21946751He's the fag that's been seething this entire thread. He's just shit talking for (You)'s, call him a turd and move on.
>>21946147It does happen because varieties are chosen for how well they can be transported and sit on a shelf rather than for how good they taste. But strawberries and tomatoes are especially known for being picked when underripe. And apples can sit in storage for a year after being picked before reaching a grocery store.
>>21946803I skipped all the GMO shit. I don't feel like having a mud fight, so he can have the final word
Commercial strawberries are all hydroponic, have no flavour and are sold underipe because they last longer in fridges. They're a garnish.
>>21945572you eat the green for balance
>>21945572Here's a little tip: get your strawberries and just bite all the green shit off, one by one. Keep it in your mouth until the end, then spew it directly into the bin. This is the FASTEST way to degreen your strawbs. Then you're ready to cram your face with berries.
They're hit or miss. I'll never pay more than $2 usd/lb though I don't care who's field they came from.
>>21945572You fucking retards do realize strawberries are a SEASONAL fruit, right?Just because they always have something at the store, grown below the equator and shipped north, doesn't mean it's good.Ever notice tomatoes only really taste like anything in the summer? You keep eating them but they don't taste good. Farmed strawberries off season are the same way.
>>21950412*whose, not fucking "who is". Dumbass.
