1. When Are Strawberries Generally Harvested?

Strawberries generally begin to sprout in late February, bloom by mid-April, and the fruit does not fully ripen until mid-to-late May. In other words, strawberries are a late spring and early summer fruit.

But nowadays many strawberries are grown in greenhouses, where the temperature conditions can be controlled manually, so the strawberries do not have to wait until May to ripen. Basically, they begin to bear fruit in January, and reach their peak of ripeness from March to April, which is also the best time for picking.

2. Besides Eating Strawberries Fresh, How Else Can They Be Enjoyed?

In fact, besides being bought and eaten fresh, strawberries can be enjoyed in many other ways.

The first is to make chocolate strawberries. The method is to dip washed strawberries into melted liquid chocolate. When eaten, the sweetness of the chocolate and the fresh fragrance of the strawberries are so irresistible that you cannot stop eating them.

The second is to make a milk strawberry milkshake. Cut the washed strawberries into pieces, put them into a blender, and then pour in an appropriate amount of milk. Friends who like a thicker milkshake can pour in less milk.

Of course, the above two are relatively simple methods. Others include making strawberry jam, strawberry ice cream, strawberry cake, and the like. Friends who like them can make them themselves.
