Don't waste money on bad strawberries: how to choose ripe and sweet berries

When choosing vegetables, fruits and berries, the buyer's attentiveness and knowledge of some nuances play a huge role.
Late spring and early summer are the season for the new strawberry harvest, which fills the shelves of shops and markets.
Only a few can resist the bright red and large berries. But often, buyers are disappointed at home - the strawberries are sour.
Appearance
The appearance of the berry can tell a lot. For example, if there are small light spots, then the strawberry has not had time to ripen.
Another indicator is the berry tail. For example, if they have withered and the fruit itself has not reached the required condition, then this is an indicator that the harvest was collected prematurely. In this case, the strawberry may be red, but it will still be sour.
Smell
The smell of strawberries says a lot about their taste. A bright and rich aroma of the berry eloquently says that the strawberry is sweet. If the smell is herbal or absent, then most likely the taste will be mediocre.
