There are hundreds of varieties of strawberries out there (they’re mostly bred to grow in different seasons and regions), but what you want to look for across the board is that bright fire-engine red color. “A strawberry is at its peak once it’s been picked, after which it no longer ripens,” says Frances Dillard, director of marketing at Driscoll’s. “That’s why you’re seeing bright red berries in the store because they don’t ripen.” So, the more saturated and shiny the color, the better. Avoid berries with white patches or ones that look faded. As for the little green leaf caps, look for fresh foliage—the leaves shouldn’t be dried out.
