Strawberry Punnet 250g - Certified Organic

On the farm!

Ripe strawberries are firm and bright with fresh green caps and a sweet aroma. Strawberries taste best at room temperature, that’s why we recommend taking them out of the fridge and let them sit a few minutes before eating…..that is, if they even make it to the fridge in the first place – we have no self-control when it comes to our strawberries!
