I bought these to level your expectations

Let me first say that I would never willingly spend $15 on strawberries unless I had reallly high expectations and it’s a special day. It was my daughter’s birthday and she adores fruit and loves strawberries so I thought, you know, why not? Birthday comes once a year.

I was thinking these will be sweet and full of flavour. They are a bit more flavourful than your regular grocery store strawberries, but just a little bit, nothing that will make you go, “Oh wow!”. They are also not sweet and in-fact are just a tiny bit less sour than regular strawberries.

If I had sampled these before purchasing, I honestly wouldn’t have bough them. I am willing to splurge for fancy fruit but when the fancy fruit tastes more like in-season fruit just a tiny bit more ripe than normal, it’s not worth it.

I think next time I’ll just wait for peak strawberry season.

Also, if you liked these, then great, I’m happy for you. I know everyone has different tastes and someone might prefer strawberries with a slight tang. I just prefer mine really juicy, sweet and these unfortunately did not hit the mark.
