I am in love with the strawberries here. Back home you can only get good delicious strawberries during the summer time and the ones you get after that are gross/not ripe. Korea has it figured out. The winter strawberries are some of the best I have ever had. Every time we have them at lunch I ask for more. They are just like the ones you get when the season is at its peak in the US, and it is the middle of winter here.
I commented on it today to the VP and a horticulture teacher and found out why. Apparently, they grow the strawberries differently during the wintertime. First, they are grown in a green house, which helps with the growing. The second change comes with what they are grown in. According to the horticulture teacher, winter strawberries are grown in a water based device thing (this part was in Korean so I am a bit confused but I got the main point), while summer strawberries are raised in the soil. It makes the strawberries sweeter and able to grow during the winter. You learn something new everyday.
