Strawberry question

Wow! Nobody knows? I guess this timeless question will remain a mystery.... :wink:

Many strawberries on the market have been altered, mainly through selection. They are breed based on size, color, fragrance, and for extended shelf life. The very last consideration is taste.

US strawberries are grown with loads of fungicides and pesticides. One of worst chemicals used to grow berries is methyl bromide. It is not good for you or the environment. It was supposed to be banned, but our present government has decided to extend it's approval. I would only eat organically grown strawberries from the US - or better yet grow your own.

Ah, I see. So, it's a matter of taking different types of strawberries and cross-breeding. I guess that sort of a genetic modification then.

Thanks.....
