Are strawberries out of season in winter?

Strawberries in winter are out-of-season fruits.

Normal strawberries mature in late spring and early summer, usually in May and June, but the temperature in summer is high and strawberries are not suitable for storage and transportation, so people now choose to cultivate strawberries in plastic greenhouses or greenhouses. Strawberries are on the market in winter, and the temperature is low, which can ensure that strawberries are not easy to deteriorate during storage and transportation. Strawberries cultivated in greenhouses can make the quality of strawberries better and taste sweeter and more delicious through artificial conditions.

Strawberries like warm and cool climate, and the suitable growth temperature is 15℃~ 25℃. Under natural conditions, open-air strawberries will be planted in autumn, enter dormancy in winter, and harvested before the arrival of high temperature in summer. Later, with the development of greenhouse technology, the light and temperature of strawberry growth became controllable, which could be planted in May-June and matured in early February.

Off-season strawberries can be safely eaten.

Out-of-season fruits are planted by artificially creating microenvironment and microclimate conditions and creating certain conditions such as humidity, temperature and soil. If anti-season fruits and vegetables are planted according to the regulations of pollution-free food, the quality is not much different from that of normal season products. Moreover, strawberries have high requirements for light and moisture, which is very suitable for growing in greenhouse environment. Strawberries planted in this way have higher sugar content, richer flavor and better quality than those planted in the open field.

Many people confuse out-of-season fruits with mature fruits, and think that out-of-season fruits must be bad for people. In fact, out-of-season fruits and ripening fruits are two different things. Out-of-season fruits do not need to add reagents other than those needed for fruit growth, so they can be safely eaten.
