[@oscarcastellanos9270]

Hats off to my Mexican brothers who make this type of farming possible. 🇲🇽

[@bethsanchezyoga55]

my thoughts exactly. they feed the entire continent.

[@michelepaccione8806]

Strawberries are so easy to grow yourself, if you have the room. And they're perennial, so they grow back. Plant some of the suckers and you have free plants each year. A strawberry picked ripe off the plant and warm from the sun is absolutely amazing. I freeze the extras I grow and use them in pancakes, waffles, in oatmeal, for jam, all through the winter. Freezing seems to intensify the flavor even more. My freezer is always stocked with homegrown strawberries, blueberries and ground cherries.

[@dominiqueadkins8781]

Would you happen to be in TX?

[@tripathinandini945]

Yeahh

[@MickeyS-thought-conservatory]

Wait!! For real??? Where can I get some strawberry seeds.. I can give this a try, I thought they would be hard to grow.. or they as easy as tomatoes?

[@michelepaccione8806]

@@MickeyS-thought-conservatory I’ve never grown them from seed. Plants are sold in pretty much any nursery or big box store. They’re easier than tomatoes, because you only have to plant them once and they come back every spring and spread, so you get more plants. They’re really one of the easiest things to grow.

[@ofoufoutos7110]

stoped eating industrialised strawberries when i tasted one like you described

[@austinfreyrikrw6651]

Quality over quantity. Keep up your great work! You've got very enthusiastic fan viewers all over the globe! (and yes, I agree 100%, we should demand growers to grow strawberries as a seasonal crop and also support our local farmers as much as we can. We can't expect fresh, peak quality produce to be shipped across the continent)

[@joshschannel5654]

I learn a lot from these videos

[@Tygydyk17]

I have wondered why strawberries bought from the store tasted so bland compared to the taste of strawberries I ate as a child way back in Poland. Now I know. I will try to grow them next year here in my yard in FL. Thank you.

[@victorpradha9946]

My European visitors often said much of the food here in the U.S. is dead (whenever they visited) from an epicurean and culinary perspective. Still didn't stop them from enjoying the occasionally PhilIy cheesesteak or Gyro, though. I didn't know what they meant until I stayed with them in Spain, France and Germany. There...most of their meals were comprised of mostly fresh picked, fresh caught, fresh squeezed items they harvested/brought/bought THAT morning or even just a 1-2 hours before reaching the plate. Even the eggs, goat milk were obtained from a nearby farm that day. I envy your access to a wide variety of immediate from the ground/source items to at least sample. Your channel opens an extraordinary array of in-depth naturalist and sustainable food source info. Well done!

[@Jemima1377]

True - I am European and remember in particular tasting american apples and tomatoes - and how shocked I was at the lack of "proper" taste. It's just two very different food cultures. Here, we go grocery shopping multiple times a week to get fresh produce, I think a lot of Americans buy bigger quantities and far less often (which makes sense with everything being so far away - I do all my shopping on foot and have 4 different supermarkets in max 5 minutes walking-distance - can't imaginge driving for half an hour by car just to get groceries!) - of course that way the food needs to keep longer, which comes at a cost. Our strawberries for example are best eaten the day you buy them or the next day at the latest - after that they start going bad quickly - but that downside is IMO compensated easily by the taste.

[@TrueFoodTV]

Victor and Jemima - You all make such valuable observations! I've lived in Spain and Italy, and in both those cultures, the cuisine revolves around the seasons. The "green grocer" is largely gone here, which means our access to locally grown produce is very difficult. We have to work hard to find it. I am personally lucky to be surrounded by a lot of great farm stands, but it's also a privilege to have the time (and money) to directly to the farm and buy fresh. It is unfortunately not a priority in American culture... yet.

[@carlporter]

In Lake County, California, we have a few local growers with strawberry stands in front of their fields. The farmers are immigrants from Thailand with Laotian ethnicity. I somehow feel that through the years since they began, the sweetness of the strawberries is decreasing. You discuss that issue, the pulling of nutrients from the soil. I really enjoy learning about foods from you. I wish you would also emphasize the importance of some animal-based protein and fat in the diet. The balancing act you mentioned is really between the three main macronutrients: the right mixture of protein, fat, and carbohydrates (grains). The micronutrients don't make too much difference unless you poison yourself with too much sugar, salt, or spice. When you see people who are obviously struggling with their physiques, it can all be traced back to diet. Not only overweight or underweight, but the shine and suppleness of skin and hair and the strength and fast-growth of finger- and toenails. These are obvious signs of health we can see. You've got to get a steady intake of animal fat and protein in your diet.

[@jadonabuaqil2717]

Untill a few years ago we had veggies and fruit only on thier season, but when they started being avalable year around I felt a jarring drop in taste. I would love for fruit and veggies to go back to bieng seasonal and tasty.

[@dwaynekoblitz6032]

I’m so happy right now, Nicole. I waited until I was alone in a quiet room to watch. How Does it Grow, is so fantastic. The history, the side stories, the small farmers. It’s so awesome. It seems like strawberries have have always been a part of my life. Quite interesting. Thank you so much for the new episode! You’re so beautiful. Hope all is well with you and your family. ❤️

[@TrueFoodTV]

Dwayne, thank you so much for giving this episode your full attention! And as always, thank you for making this series possible! Your LONG-TERM support means the world to me.

I’ve always wondered why wild strawberries are so tiny. This answered my question. Thanks!

[@ahmedreza8221]

Great job Nicole ! Such an underrated channel. Been enjoying your creations since the beginning. Keep up the wonderful work ❤️

[@spinach69888]

In the Baltic states (and Northern Europe probably too) very few people buy strawberries out of season. We start sort of consuming them around March, in small quantities, but mostly strawberry season lasts from May till July.

[@davidt5776]

You are amazing. Love your video editor. Very professional. Great team.

[@MickeyS-thought-conservatory]

OMG!!! What I love most about this show, and what makes me most proud, because as a fellow SE PA'er is that most of these videos are made locally. I go to LinVilla like almost every month, my kids love running around the fields and picking the local vegetables/fruits... and true to form, picking your own strawberries taste so much better than a store bought one. I don't know why, but local, freshly picked strawberries taste so much different than one in the stores.

[@SwirlingAether]

100% agree. I had some locally grown strawberries this past summer…they were fantastic! Grocery store strawberries are junk. Get the good stuff. You won’t be disappointed!

[@RYANBdzeasy]

And here come... The one I've been waiting for so long. The how does it grow episodes🤘😍

[@IjoniVee]

I’ve missed your episodes! So excited for this one because I’ve been growing strawberries in my backyard garden for a couple years now. They don’t grow as large as the ones you showed but the flavor is so much better than store bought.

[@cominationz6130]

I know underrated channel when I see it. The red part of the strawberry are also called accessory fruits. An accessory fruit is a second fruit that holds the true fruits or the achene. The strawberry "seeds" are the actual fruits and inside are the seeds. Another example of this is the cashew. The bright red fruit is the accessory fruit, the bean shape beneath it is the fruit and inside the soft flesh is the seed. Also, strawberries are not berries but bananas , avocadoes and gourd family plants (watermelons, pumpkins, cucumbers, and zucchinis) are.

Yes! Having fruit when they are in season gives us something to look forward to. It seems to me we don't have an anticipation for many things anymore because they are always available. I hope we can return to seasonal fruit and vegetables for both the planet and our mental, emotional, and physical health. Thanks for the great and informative video.

I wonder how ecologically sustainable is this chemical use. Soil without living organisms isn't really the best kind of soil.

[@TrueFoodTV]

Yes, it's a big problem. The health of our soil is a CRITICAL issue in agriculture right now.

[@ellenkuang8853]

It's not. It's also not good for the human that sprays them either or the farm workers that work all day in those farms.

Great video. I love the seasonal eating idea. Since I started growing my own tomatoes I will only eat tomatoes in season. Never the flavorless picked green versions the stores sell. I can plenty of tomato products to last all winter and it makes summer that much more special knowing I get to enjoy fresh tomatoes again for a few months. I'm trying to build my strawberry production up enough to have some for preserving. Right now we eat them all everyday. :-)

This reminds me of these massive strawberries I used to eat in England, shipped from Spain. They were always so fresh and sweet. Back here in the US I tend to eat them mostly in the summer to take advantage of sales... eat them within 3 days but even then I've been having bad luck with almost fermented tasting fruit. So I want to grow some of my own.

[@KRscience]

So true about the flavor of ripe strawberries. I have Seascape strawberries growing in my garden, and they have half the flavor and sweetness if you pick them a day before they're fully ripe.
