Overview
Florida is a major winter strawberry producer (Plant City, near Tampa, is the hub) — peak season runs December through March, opposite most US strawberry regions which peak in summer. This means Florida-grown strawberries are often cheapest and freshest at PBC supermarkets in winter, while summer strawberries are shipped in from California or elsewhere.
Nutrition notes
Good source of vitamin C and fiber, useful alongside iron-rich foods for the same absorption-boosting reason as Orange.
