Fragrantly sweet, strawberries are the most popular type of berry fruit in the world. Although they have become increasingly available year-round, they are at the peak of their season from spring to fall – when they are the most flavorful and abundant. They offer the benefit of high antioxidant and vitamin C amounts, as well as manganese and fiber.

California varieties include:
