Everyone has a vice. It's always something that you can't get enough of, or want to get rid of either. For some of us, it's the alcohol or the cigarettes (mind you, even vaping can turn out to be an addiction) while for others, it's either beauty or the beast, whichever side you're on.
Interestingly, for others that I've met – religion is also one of these so-called addictions. And no matter how long you want to live (not unless you have a death wish), sooner or later these addictions can get the better of you in one way or the other.
So, what should you do then? Nothing, pick your own poison like you can pick your own strawberries these days…
Strawberries and their Benefits
Now I'm not suggesting that eating strawberries can be addictive but am trying to emphasize the fun of being able to enjoy this delicious fruit in the living room or during you-know-what. (Er, as Sheldon puts it – coitus, you know…)
And if that's not enough, you can bid syphilis goodbye… as unpalatable as that might sound! Yes, it's one of its benefits but not necessarily the best one since most women, who for the most part are concerned about the appearance of their skin, might benefit the most when they eat strawberries.
But thanks to the packaging and processing industry, you'll find very few places where you won't find strawberries all neatly wrapped up and to go – or even, in all of its delightful goodness in a can.
So, for the strawberry lover – where do they go if they want fresh fruit?
Pick Your Own Strawberries
Yes, you can! Pick your own strawberries, I mean. It's a common practice between the months of April and June, and most people make their way to these farms in while keeping track of how good the farm is, whether or not they still have good strawberries to pick, how much it costs, how they accept payment and most definitely, the directions to the farm.
Cover these questions, and you'll have an enjoyable experience picking the best (and freshest) strawberries not unless several people get there before you do…
OK, what next, if you're satisfied with the above points?
So here are some strawberry picking pointers that might help you when you get there:
#1: Before we begin, as mentioned earlier, your chances of getting the best strawberries is between April and June while the other months won't…
#2: Experts say that the smaller the strawberries are, the better they are to taste. In addition, the best strawberries look are bright red in color with a natural shine and with a bright green cap. Along with this, you'll find that they come with a floral fragance…
#3: When it comes to unripe strawberries, look for white or green spots or even for strawberries that are dark red in color. Those are the ones you should avoid! Remember: strawberries with blemishes or that don't have 'give' are the ones you shouldd avoid immediately.
And if you aren't sure where to find these farms, here's a link that should help you get started…
In Closing
Trust me, picking strawberries are just as easy as picking your nose…
