They're so juicy and sweet; you'll be grinning and asking for a napkin. With a beautiful bright red sheen and creamy texture, we're sure you'll agree that Florida European’s strawberries are the best tasting berries you've ever had! Whether as an ingredient - or right out of the package – Florida European’s strawberries are mouth-watering and will keep you coming back for more.

Look for symmetrically shaped berries that have a nice sheen and brilliant, even color. Berry tips should not be too seedy and the "shoulders" should not be white. Look for strawberries that are clean and dry with fresh unwilted caps. Educate consumers that strawberries top the list of fruits high in antioxidants, which are important for disease prevention. The berries also contain folic acid, which may help reduce the risk of heart disease.
