Admittedly, they didn't look very good. They looked like they needed more time to ripen before being picked. But maybe you'll have better luck at your local.

    Pickled green strawberries and ceviche
    Fill a clean 750ml jar with 275ml water, 100ml white-wine vinegar, a teaspoon of sugar and four teaspoons of salt. Shake to dissolve. Fill the jar with about 300g green strawberries and green tomatoes (optional). Screw on the lid and put in the fridge overnight. Serve as they are, or make a “ceviche”: cut the fruit into thin wedges and lay on a plate. Dress with a little olive oil, finely sliced coriander stalks and leaves, and diced green chilli.

    Voted hot for the price and because they were available in my local store. I didn't buy any as they were very small.

    Small is better remember, it means they are not doped!
    But if they were green definitely to avoid

    That main pic is foul. Strawberry’s have such range; buy good ones and its enjoyable, buy cheap and it’s a regret. I bought some from Iceland recently that were unfortunately just poor with a filmy texture and a perfume type taste.

    I think Tesco taste the difference is quite literally that at this stage when compared to non-snobby ones.

    When I was younger, they were all ok. Standards appear to be lowering!

    Farmfoods fruit is sadly never good....

    farmfoods fruit is sometimes very good indeed!! the Kentish strawberries last year were fine, as were the Chilean blueberries. Certainly these sold out before they had a chance to go mouldy. But with very few chillers in most stores the fruit is not usually kept under optimum conditions......................

    I agree, they are sometimes very good!

    I bought apples, grapes, blackberries, cherries (and these are just the ones I can remember). They were all very, very good quality.

    These strawberries, unfortunately, were not. But I posted this deal anyway because I thought it might have just been this store that didn't look so good. But when others said the quality at theirs was the same, I changed my pic so that it wasn't misleading.

    They just sell Green fruit as a add on.Quality is very questionable.

    I guess these could be classed as 'Wonky' Strawberries.

    Strawberries seem to be tastier than I can remember recently. Unless my taste buds were off from Covid?
