Where do strawberries come from?
Our BC strawberry industry has a colorful history. Before the US I5 Freeway was constructed, fresh strawberries were only available to BC residents during the actual BC harvest season. BC had substantially more acres growing strawberries and these fields were usually close to the larger cities. It was not too far for people to drive out to the surrounding farms and either pick them or buy them ready picked. Food stores were smaller and generally would often also carry strawberries produced locally and delivered daily. BUT EVERYONE KNEW WHERE TO FIND FRESH JUICY BC STRAWBERRIES! Times have changed and not only do we have access to fresh strawberries almost year round but we also have many consumers who dont know where and how they are grown. And many dont know when to look for BC fresh juicy strawberries. Consider your two options. (sure there is a third but forget about that one, there is no adventure in just going to the food store, again) Option ONE: Find some plastic ice cream pails

The strawberry is actually a member of the rose family and is rich in vitamin C and folic acid. It is the only fruit with seeds on the outside, thus why it is called a "false fruit." California produces 80% of the strawberries that are consumed in the US.
The strawberry is native to North America and was discovered by Europeans in 1588 when they came to America. It wasn’t grown domestically since it was so abundant.
I am unaware of this fruits origin. I do know where strawberries are harvested. They grow in Europe, America, and Asia. Being that Americans traveled from Europe, I would hypothesize that radishes accepted strawberries in America. I assume strawberries have Europeon roots. I know this is a long shot. I’m open to your theory.
