Strawberries

When sourced in season, locally, and organically, raspberries are considered a sustainable crop as raspberry production causes no known significant damage to air, water, land, soil, and forests.

Check when raspberries are in season in your area with this Seasonal Food Guide.

It is important to note, when not sourced organically, commercial strawberries can be problematic as they have among the highest levels of pesticide contamination compared to other fruits.

Strawberries are juicy and sweet and can be used in both sweet and savory recipes.
