If you are a strawberry addict like me, then June must make you very happy. Canadian strawberries are just the best. Unlike their oversized waterlogged cousins to the south, berries grown in Canada are teeming with flavour. The common garden strawberry that we find in stores today is actually a hybrid of the French (for flavour) and Argentinean (for size) varieties. In our modern world, we are accustomed to strawberries being available year round, but nothing can compare to the first sweet taste of a June strawberry that has been picked the day before. Local berries also equal a much smaller carbon footprint.
