Most of the strawberries you find in the grocery store are bred specifically for size and appearance. Because of this, they have lost a lot of their natural ability to fight of disease and pests. They are overloaded with massive amounts of pesticides. I have come across a few different sources that list strawberries as one of the most pesticide-laden produce items you can buy.
So, if you love strawberries, but can’t grow your own and don’t have access to Organic, make sure you use a gentle produce soap to wash them off prior to eating. You can usually find such products in the natural foods section.
