FOOD FACT: Strawberries are completely a product of plant breeding. Even before biotechnology (i.e., GMO technology,) emerged, farmers and scientists were crossbreeding plants for optimal nutrition and appearance. It is important to always wash strawberries before cooking or eating them, as bacteria can easily grow in their tiny pores.
