There are not many things in the life I want to boast about. It includes grocery, which contradicts Hations of spending from my colleagues, General Zires. in the wake of High egg prices Because of the outbreak of persistent bird flu High livestock costs Because of the extreme environmental conditions, I was increasingly upset with – and what – I decided to spend my money.
Recently, in making a personal betrayal, I broke my excerpt during a trip to H Mart. It was an old story: The girl goes to the store to pick up some elements for dinner. A girl surrenders to her temptations while walking in the corridors. Leave the girl with additional elements that were not on the original grocery menu. In my case, it was actually one additional element: mature and mature Korean strawberry at a price of $ 25 per container. I never paid double numbers for one strawberry container, but the curiosity got my best. What distinguishes these strawberries anyway?
Earlier this month, luxury strawberries enjoyed their moment under the lights thanks to Erehon. Los Angeles’s high -end grocery chain has caused an uproar on the Internet via strawberry, which is sold individually in clear plastic containers. From ELLY AmAI, strawberries are imported from Kyoto, Japan, which is available at a very reasonable price of $ 18.99.
“Well, this is a $ 19 strawberry of Erewhon, so we will eat it,” said the influencer Alyssa Antoki, the daughter of Erewhon’s sister’s sister, Tony and Josephine Antoki, in a virus video published on February 22.
Ankoki the taste of strawberries, saying that it is “the best strawberry that I have gone through in my life.” In a video of follow -up, she said strawberries taste “like strawberries, but times like a thousand” described it as “sweet” and “like candy”.
Since then, strawberry has been tested with high prices-which has been called “Erehon Revrawberry”-by both food and celebrity critics, including both Demi Lovatoand Josh Beck and Heidi Klum (Whoever says luxurious fruits simply “tastes like strawberries” after taking a generous bite in them). Others criticized the high strawberry price, saying that it is “Dystopian” and “mental game” (“If I drop 20 dollars on strawberries, perhaps I convinced myself that he was the best that I tasted ever”, one of the commentators wrote under Antoci’s review).
Although spending $ 19 on strawberries may seem ridiculous to many, there is a reason behind the high price point for fruit. I told Elie Mamey and Reww today Strawberries are very expensive because they have grown in Tushji province, known as the “Kingdom of Strawberry”. Strawberries are grown exclusively from December to June and are chosen two days before they are sold at EREWHON. They stay fresh for only three days after that, according to today.
Strawberry is chosen in their pride and [hit] “Faster than cauliflower, which grows in CA, to reach the markets in New York,” said Erewhon representative to the e -mail. The actor added that the high strawberry price “is the same price that you will pay in Japan or less.”
Basically, the price of strawberries reflects the employment, time, care and accuracy required for the development of specialized berries. In Asia, especially in Japan, certain types of strawberries are known “Jewelers -like strawberries” Because of its high quality, both wise aesthetics and taste.
Shipping costs are also working at the total price of fruit. Because strawberries have a short period of maturity and harmful, bringing them from Japan to the states is a difficult ordeal.
“If you think the logistics, get it here and the ability to try it new from Japan, it is completely understood why the price is what it is. Do not hate it until you try it.”

“Japanese fruits are reassuring for their exceptional taste and great appearance. Thanks to the microscopic cultivation methods of farmers all over Japan.” “But few Americans tasted these dear fruits due to the challenges of import and transportation in the United States.”
Do luxury strawberries really deserve it? Another specialized diet is similar to some people while others are not. For some, strawberries are tolerance for one time, or even a seasonal gift enjoyed on special occasions or in special baked goods. For others, it is a sensation on the Internet.
“What makes anything luxury? There will be more attention. There will be more care and more time,” said Ann Zata, the chefs on the New York City campus at the New York City Institute. “We hope the result is a high quality product and it is worth it and reflects the price.”
After experimenting with Korean strawberries, I was surprised by pleasure. The berries were juice, delicious and perfect balance of sweet. Will I spend $ 25 on another package? Maybe not. But I am happy to let myself indulge in luxury fruits only this time.
