There are a multitude of strawberry varieties, including summer strawberries and autumn strawberries. They are distinguished by several criteria: taste, color, shape, flesh, firmness, size, and shelf life.<\/p>

Autumn strawberries, or day-neutral strawberries, only have a single year of life. They are planted very early in spring and harvested three months later, and they require a lot of attention. To achieve a good harvest of autumn strawberries, no failures must occur throughout their growth.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

\"\"CL\u00c9RY (END OF MAY TO END OF JUNE)<\/strong>
This early variety was developed in Italy and boasts exceptional firmness and shine. Brilliant and carmine red in color, the Cl\u00e9ry is quite large and conical in shape. With medium-firm flesh, this strawberry has a very aromatic, sweet flavor. It can be enjoyed both raw and cooked.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

\"\"MALWINA (LATE JUNE TO END JULY)<\/strong>
This strawberry is one of the latest short-day varieties in our province. Rather dark in color, it has a pronounced flavor and is surprisingly large. Finally, Malwina provides a gateway to day-neutral fall strawberries.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Not only is FraiseBec delicious, but it also helps prevent cardiovascular disease and certain forms of cancer, as well as slow the effects of aging. Not bad for such a small fruit!<\/p>

Even in jam, strawberries retain their antioxidant properties: although cooking reduces the effect of flavonoids, the weakening of the cellular structure of canned fruits allows your body to use the antioxidants more easily.<\/p>

    1. After picking, it’s best to refrigerate strawberries as soon as possible in the fruit drawer or a cool place. They’ll stay fresher longer!<\/p>

    2. As with all berries, they should be eaten quickly.<\/p>

    3. Rinse strawberries with water just before eating.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

    Freezing<\/h4>

    For longer storage, you can simply sweeten or freeze strawberries. The best freezing method is to spread the strawberries on a tray covered with aluminum foil and place them in the freezer for 3 hours. Then place them in tightly sealed dishes or plastic bags. This will help them keep their shape for decorating your desserts.<\/p>

    And what about raspberries? The same advice applies.<\/p>

    By following these tips, it’s worth picking even more of our berries!<\/p>
