Grocery store strawberries are bred for longer shelf life and stability/freshness during transport.
If you're growing your own, you obviously don't give a frick about that and would prefer to grow strawberries that have better taste and juiciness, even if they don't last as long.
Exactly. White strawberries also exist. So this op pic isnt really a gotem. The lower strawberry simply appears riper because as as people associate red with ripe.
Could it be both? Most of the strawberries in the container from the grocery store are usually white near the top but occasionally one will be fully red and not as deep red as the one in OP but more pink than white inside.
>They're literally just different breeds.
Do you have a breakdown of strawberry breeds, which ones are grown for fresh eating and which are grown for grocery stores?
You have zero clue how super market logistics work. Almost all fruit and vegetables are picked unripe to transport. You can look it up just takes a Google search.

It's more than breed. White strawberries are white, not red on the outside. The important takeaway here is not that grocery store strawberries are a whole different breed, it's that they're picked underripe because ripe strawberries bruise very easily.
This is the case with almost all grocery store fruit, but strawberries are worse than most because unlike many others they pretty much stop ripening once picked. The outsides still redden a touch, but they don't develop any more sugars or flavour. It makes them one of the most disappointing fruits compared to what you can buy vs pick yourself.
I honestly don't know why anyone buys fruit from the grocery store. It's all so flavorless and bad. I would rather have no fruit than eat any of that shit. Certain designer fruits in wealthy markets like cosmic crisp apples and sumo mandarins being the exception.
They sell sumo mandarins too. Walmart produce isn't always terrible but it can vary in quality a lot. Sometimes the lettuce is crap, sometimes it's great. The strawberries regularly seem to not be good though, I don't really buy them from there anymore.
I can walk into 96.513% of walmarts in this country and walk back out with a bag of cosmic crisp apples. Even the ghetto azn gorl grocery store that I go to has them. You are moronic. Not only in the figurative sense but also in the literal sense.
Personally, I really like some fruits like mangoes, grapefruits, bananas and loquats, but I live in Canada where they can't be grown locally except in hothouses so they'd be stupid expensive and shitty quality anyways.

From a botanical point of view, the strawberry is not a berry but an aggregate accessory fruit, meaning that the fleshy part is derived not from the plant's ovaries but from the receptacle that holds the ovaries. Each apparent "seed" (achene) on the outside of the fruit is actually one of the ovaries of the flower, with a seed inside it.

Seriously though certain varieties of strawberry are red throughout, especially ones typically grown in the PNW. More commercial varieties grown in California and Baja have white inner flesh regardless of ripeness

That's just a difference in ripeness.
No it's not, it's a difference in breed.

No they are picked early. Maybe grow your own stuff before talking about it. Most stuff in stores is picked unripe.
>longer shelf life
>Buy it
>Get moldy the next day
I'm not impressed.
Sorry, but you're wrong.
They're literally just different breeds.

Look it up a chemical is used to ripen them and make them look red.

That’s because it’s been sitting in a shipping container for months. The grocery produce supply chain is a fricking joke.

Black person they sell cosmic crisp apples at fricking walmart. Are you moronic? "Wealthy markets" holy fricking shit.

Not every Walmart has the same produce dumbass.

Holy shit you even copied the comment from reddit
How do you know that?

>There is only one variety of strawberry
i'll pee on your chin
>strawberry
>can't use it as a straw
>not a berry
What did they mean by this
>raspberry
>doesn't fart
why even live
why isnt it a berry
Some botany bullshit about plant sex parts. Whatever, they're fruits because they go well in a fruit salad.

but its a small fruit
its a berry
Sure, that's why it's called a strawberry.
But botanically, it isn't a berry, it's a fruit.
botanically these nuts
The duality of man.
>there's a smaller seed inside the seeds
Wtf are they microscopic?
>achene
it's from "strewn berries" describing the way the wild berries were naturally strewn all over the ground
That is pretty neat, didn't know that

If different varieties of fruits & vegetables blew your mind then you are not ready for this world.
"cherry picked" biased upvote mining gay
They pick them way too early. The top looks like a green strawberry on the inside. You get a lot less nutrients with these unripe fruits.
Superior strawberry coming through.
Can't wait for summer. I'm going to pick kilos of these.
literal flavor bomb
StrawberriesAreFrickingLit!!!
Yeah. They'll pick unripe strawberries, then blast them with some kind of gas that makes the outside red.
Strawberries don't ripen after being picked.
