In order for strawberries to survive the journey from producers in Florida and California to your area, they are typically harvested before they are fully ripe.

Strawberries

1

Pineapple

Even though pineapples were formerly a major crop in Hawaii, the majority of them are now imported from Costa Rica.

Rhubarb

Though many people mistakenly believe that raspberries are fruits because they are used in so many desserts (such pies and cobblers), in reality they are a vegetable.

3

Meyer Lemons

Lemons are available all year round, but Meyer lemons are at their best from late winter to early spring.

4

Mangoes

Mango harvesting in Florida, one of the top mango-growing states in the US, takes place from May to October.

5
