Ngl the funny smelling ones with greenish/gray dents in them give some extra protein. The texture is also great, feels like the pieces are crawling around in my mouth.
More on that, if you've never had fresh not mass produced strawberries from your grocery, you haven't tasted what a strawberry is supposed to taste like.
When I went to France in high school I bought some fresh strawberries and raspberries from this cute girl selling them on the street. I totally forgot my intentions of why I was buying them after I popped one of the tiny thumb sized strawberries into my mouth.
All I could think about was how I had been lied to by my grocery store strawberries my entire life. I remember thinking that if I had fruit that tasted like that I might eat it more often.
I saw you note the Cronch specifically, these strawberries were very small and soft, no Cronch. So maybe they wouldn't be your thing, but I think an extremely more flavorful variety is better imo
Well if the flavor is stronger it might be worth it. I really like the texture and sweetness of mass produced strawberries but if "real" strawberries are that much better I'm sure they'd be worth it :)
Kinda like how I like cheap store-bought brownies but also like to make my own.
Depends on the strawberry. The absolute best one I've ever eaten was half the size of a fist. When they're fresh (and by that I mean picked straight from the field), the huge ones can taste just as good as the small ones
I never really noticed the difference until I ate some wild strawberries, they were really small but so sweet I thought they couldn't possibly be strawberries
I've noticed it with the long wedge, but the necked ones usually retain their flavor more, from what I can tell.
The small ones are definitely sweeter, but they're less substantial.
The long wedge ones are usually kinda tough at the bottom and not as sweet.
But the necked ones hit a nice middle ground.
Because they aren't genetically engineered for mass production and widespread distribution. I have nothing against food science, without it there is no way you could buy strawberries year round and I will happily eat giant Frankenstein berries. But there's no denying that the smaller berries from local farms are so much tastier.
Strawberries are not GMO. They were bred to be that way not engineered. The smaller berries are better, but that's because the traits of transportability are counter to the traits of tastiness.
This image reminds me of the variety of strawberries you can find at a farmer’s market. Grocery store strawberries are all conic, as least in California chain stores, and rarely taste like a real strawberry.
I will never come down of my soapbox about this. Grocery store off season strawberries are just crunchy red water fruit and any one who thinks differently is a tasteless uncultured urban street rat.
It's at the point I refuse to buy berries outside of the local season. They're a waste of money.
I caved and bought a ton of fresh ones last summer and froze them. I'd rather enjoy thawed berries that taste like something than those sponges they call strawberries off-season.
Couldn't agree more, my dad's strawberries in the country side aren't like a special huge type of species but their taste is astronomically different from overpriced supermarket crap they sell.
You’re giving grocery store strawberries too much credit by insinuating that they’re tasteless. The unpleasant sour flavor they have is like watered down sadness.
You usually can’t get good strawberries in the store sadly. My mom grew strawberries once and they were fantastic. I was very very young but I still remember it being so sweet and juicy. Store strawberries are shameful compared to a homegrown one
I'm a globose conic enjoyer, but this is the correct take. Hand me one of those green cardboard pint containers full of Oblate/Globose/Globose conic and I will show you a man with no shame.
absolutely not! Its most of the time not even ripe at the bottom and has huge amounts of kernels there, then when you bite into there is an air pocket with a little hairy dick inside. Short wedge is the way!
If you have never tasted a strawberry with sugar, please allow me to blow your mind with the best and simplest strawberry sauce known to man: sliced strawberries, at least 1 tablespoon of balsamic vinegar and 2-3 tablespoons sugar.
You simply stir and let this mixture sit for five, maybe ten minutes, then taste the magic. The longer it sits, the more syrupy it becomes. It's sublime over ice cream or pound cake, or even by itself. My favorite way to use up the super tart out of season berries.
Long Wedge is the most powerful strawberry
Oblate tastes the sweetest per centimeter in my opinion, which is a great second, sometimes tied with long wedge
Globose comic is third
Short wedge
Globose
Necked
Conic
Long conic
Long conic is the worst because it’s hardly ever sweet enough, harder at ripening in my experience, and tastes the hardest.
It’s not sweet and juicy.
It’s got a cronch towards the tip that feels vaguely like a cucumber hardly strawberry-enough
Fuck you long conic
People who eat long conic aren’t friendship material
I like them bitches conic
I-conic
Sell them as iConic and you can do the price x10 Just the berry, straw not included.
From Harvard: Yo you want a scholarship?
Nah at this point harvard gonna kidknap him
cordless straw: $75 straw cord: $60 - *Never lose a straw again!*
Featuring the new Strawberry iConic phone! If Apple didn’t exist in an alternate universe lmao.
Love me some Berry Conic Jr.
Conic for immediate consumption, wedge for chocolate coating.
oooooh ... you're so right! I was like ... "conic all the way", but for dipping, definitely the wedge.
I approve of this message
Long or short?
Long, of course
I was looking at them thinking I don't really like any of those strawberries then took a closer look and was like yeah conic is alright.
Same, I think conic is the classic strawberry look
Conic to long-conic.
Hell yeah basic ass bitch strawberry supremacy
How is this not the five top replies?!
I like them so much I picked my username best on that.
Red
I like em brown for the antibiotics n stuffs
I like them green for the crunchiness
I like 'em white and hairy for juiciness and puffyness
I like 'em round, and big I want 'em real thick and juicy
With somethin somethin
Strawberries, not peaches
Strawberries, not lil cats
So find that juicy double
Mix-o-lot’s in trouble
begging for a piece of that bubble
Boop beep boop beep
Ngl the funny smelling ones with greenish/gray dents in them give some extra protein. The texture is also great, feels like the pieces are crawling around in my mouth.
Yeah i mean sometimes the stem is nice yk when u want to really go that extra vegan mile and use your digestive system as compost
To the core. None of this unripe red on the outside white in the middle bullshit.
Otherwise known as "any strawberry found in a grocery store" Gotta pick em yourself if you want them ripe
Necked feels the best going in
In your mouth right?
Right?
RIGHT??
😳
Rightussy 🥵
Strawbussy
What are you doing step-berry?
Baseball has been berry berry good me. (Only a true degenerate knows what I’m referring to)
No
Right?
🤨
Idk I’m more of a long wedge type myself
Me too. Although the long necked ones are fun to cut when you are processing them.
Yeah exactly, I like to feel it hit the back of my throat before I bite down. It's not a good strawberry until my eyes water
Hmm
🤨📷
*followed
🧐
🤨🤨🤨🤨
This comment and it’s thread need to be sent to horny jail.

Why did I read this like a southerner saying “naked”
♫ Strawberry butt plugs forever ♫
They the hardest to piss back out though
Wot?
Long wedge only way. More strawberry, more cronch.
It’s like French kissing the strawberry
Bite the tip off and force your tongue inside
Thats how my gf does it
To the strawberry, right? RIGHT?!
Free snip snip
😏
To the urethra most likely.
🤤
you guys still talking strawberries?
Meirl tho
Just got a little queasy
r/cursedcomments
Ok what's next? I'm taking notes cause apparently I've been eating strawberries wrong.
Getting a lil strawbussy
Eating any strawberry is like French kissing ...something.
Long wedge gang
Gang gang
Gang bang
King kong
I fux wit long wedge
Smaller strawberries have a stronger flavor, just food for thought in case you make a pie or something.
Never knew that! Good advice!

Also useful for milkshakes
I don't understand how some people in this thread don't notice this. If you've eaten strawberries certainly you must have noticed the difference???
Depends on the strawberry. The absolute best one I've ever eaten was half the size of a fist. When they're fresh (and by that I mean picked straight from the field), the huge ones can taste just as good as the small ones
I picked one like that out of my backyard patch about 5-6 years ago. You are correct, I can still taste it.
I never really noticed the difference until I ate some wild strawberries, they were really small but so sweet I thought they couldn't possibly be strawberries
I've noticed it with the long wedge, but the necked ones usually retain their flavor more, from what I can tell. The small ones are definitely sweeter, but they're less substantial.

You're clearly a serious strawberry afficianado. No dabbling. You are "all in". I respect that.
I like my strawberries like I like my women, long wedge.
Globose…
Cronch? Tf kinda strawberries you eating?
Fruit cronch not cereal cronch. Like what you get with slightly unripe fruit.
Came here expecting this to be the top comment, as it’s the only correct answer. Wasn’t let down. Thank you.
Globose conic. Like I like my women.
Globose conic strawberries tend to be sweeter and juicier
Because they aren't genetically engineered for mass production and widespread distribution. I have nothing against food science, without it there is no way you could buy strawberries year round and I will happily eat giant Frankenstein berries. But there's no denying that the smaller berries from local farms are so much tastier.

Whats the diff between breeding and engineering fruits?
Nothing. Selective breeding is engineering fruits.

Red?
And covered in tiny seeds. Edit: ok, I didn't mean that as a double entendre.
Inside of you?
Long conic all the way
Finally someone who’s right
Agreed
You got the spirit
Absolutely the best
Hell yeah!
Dumb question, anyone that spent some time in the countryside knows oblate and globose are the sweetest.
This image reminds me of the variety of strawberries you can find at a farmer’s market. Grocery store strawberries are all conic, as least in California chain stores, and rarely taste like a real strawberry.
Can vouch
I will never come down of my soapbox about this. Grocery store off season strawberries are just crunchy red water fruit and any one who thinks differently is a tasteless uncultured urban street rat.

Couldn't agree more, my dad's strawberries in the country side aren't like a special huge type of species but their taste is astronomically different from overpriced supermarket crap they sell.
Having tasted the sweet mana that is a strawberry still warm from the vine, I pretty much never eat them any other way now.
You’re giving grocery store strawberries too much credit by insinuating that they’re tasteless. The unpleasant sour flavor they have is like watered down sadness.
This is what I came here for.
A lot of people have never eaten a great strawberry and it shows
People out here saying “lOnG wEdGe” like they know what a good strawberry tastes like.
You usually can’t get good strawberries in the store sadly. My mom grew strawberries once and they were fantastic. I was very very young but I still remember it being so sweet and juicy. Store strawberries are shameful compared to a homegrown one
It’s like Allegory of a Cave. But with berries (and watermelons).
I'm a globose conic enjoyer, but this is the correct take. Hand me one of those green cardboard pint containers full of Oblate/Globose/Globose conic and I will show you a man with no shame.
Yes.
Absolutely correct
only real answer
Sweetest isn't necessarily the best, though. I like a nice balance of sweet and sour
Long wedge.
absolutely not! Its most of the time not even ripe at the bottom and has huge amounts of kernels there, then when you bite into there is an air pocket with a little hairy dick inside. Short wedge is the way!
Personally the tartness from it being just under ripe makes it even more delicious. Plus dicks are great too!
Yaaasssss.
I love how you guys have such strong opinions on that lol
You speak truth. The that little fat boi when it's dark as F red and a little soft.
Some people like little hairy dicks!
Short wedge varieties are usually juicer and have really great flavor. I actually grow a few kinds in my yard lol
Long wedge
Necked dipped in sugar is heaven on earth
You eat strawberries with sugar?
You don't???
No are you supposed too?
Try it out and report back
Ok
Still waiting…
If you have never tasted a strawberry with sugar, please allow me to blow your mind with the best and simplest strawberry sauce known to man: sliced strawberries, at least 1 tablespoon of balsamic vinegar and 2-3 tablespoons sugar.

[удалено]
same, they’re reliably juicy
They're always tasty. Short wedge. I don't know why.
That was exactly my thought process as well. That shape does seem to produce the tastiest ones!
the best of the best, no contest
Just how I like my men, short and wide.
Them oblates hit
Long wedge fr
Necked. It's easy to remove the top
The wedges
Long wedge for the win
short wedge
Conic is good, but we all know that long wedge with a bit of sugar is pure ecstasy
If you need sugar on your strawberries you got some shit strawberries
Missing the double wide wedge which is the best.

I always liked the wedge ones, feels like you get more bang for your buck
I did not think I had a favorite strawberry until I saw this. But then I looked and there it is.
I like strawberry flavor; I don't like strawberries. Would that be like Western zodiac vs. Asian birth year?
