During a recent marketing trip I did something a bit reckless. (And I’m not talking about buying eggs without checking for broken shells.) I bought hydroponic strawberries without any knowledge of their nutritional or taste value. It’s hard not to miss hydroponic strawberry’s recent entry to the fruit section. How their rectangular container aptly displays plump berries in a shade of red that’s making tomatoes blush.
Hydroponic strawberries have piqued my curiosity because they are pricey, like organic berries, but look healthier. They don’t have the sad, bruised appearance of the organic variety with their tattered leaves and the occasional patch of cottony fuzz.
