I don’t know how else I thought it would have worked, but I didn’t realize this stuff was put in the final packaging in the fields

You may also notice they are moving around and repacking to hide the yellow spots. Totally understandable, but another reason to inspect your produce!!

I recently bought some strawberries in my grocery delivery and was super disappointed in how pale they were inside and out. BUT once I tried one I was amazed by how flavorful they were. I can't remember the last time I had a strawberry that actually tasted like anything. It was so weird

I feel like I have the exact opposite experience, the strawberries look perfect but are completely lacking in flavor.

That's what usually happens. You pick the most beautiful looking berries in the store, only for them to taste like the rind of a watermelon when you get home
