Harvest
For maximum sweetness and flavor, it's good to pick June-bearing and day-neutral
berries a day or two after they are fully red. Berries picked before they are completely
red will eventually turn red, but they will not sweeten.
For long-term storage of fresh berries, it's best to select firm berries that are not yet
fully ripe and to cool them immediately after harvest.
Summary
For best harvest it’s good to choose the right cultivars and growing conditions.
