Strawberries in Winter?

Despite the fact that strawberries are usually summer fruits, they have long been eaten as a winter fruit in Korea. This is thanks to the explosive popularity of the local variety called Nonsan Strawberries, which are largely grown in greenhouses instead of outdoor fields. Thanks to the protection of the greenhouse from the elements & the cold, these fruits tend to ripen annually around December & January instead of depending on the summer heat.

Strawberries are also good sources of fiber, antioxidants, and vitamin C that can help prevent colds, making it a well-loved Korean winter snack. That’s why now is the perfect time for you to go strawberry picking in Korea! Stock up on those nutrients as you have the time of your life in Korea!
