Tips for picking strawberries in Da Lat and preserving them

To have the best experience when visiting strawberry farms in Da Lat, please save these tips. Here are some tips on choosing the right time to visit, how to preserve them when taking them with you, and some notes when visiting a strawberry farm, please refer to them!

Suitable time to visit strawberry farms

The strawberry season in Da Lat usually begins around January to April each year. Especially in the months leading up to Tet, there are many strawberries and the prices are relatively cheap. So the suitable time of year to visit strawberry farms in Da Lat is from January to April.

However, some farms nowadays apply greenhouse cultivation techniques, so strawberries are available all year round. Enjoying ripe strawberries is no longer too difficult.

The suitable visiting times during the day are around 08:00 – 10:00 in the morning and 15:00 – 17:00 in the afternoon. During this time, the sun is not too harsh, which is very favorable for picking strawberries. And at this time, the strawberries are no longer covered with dew, so they will last longer.

How to preserve strawberries after picking them at the farm

To be able to transport Da Lat strawberries far after harvesting them at the farm, you should follow these tips:

• You should pick strawberries right before departure to keep them fresher and last longer.
• Pick fruits that are not completely ripe, immediately discard any that show signs of bruising or wilting.
• Pick strawberries when the sun has set, to avoid them getting covered in dew, which will cause them to spoil quickly.
• When picking, remember to pick them with the stem and calyx to help them stay fresh longer.
• Place paper towels, newspapers, or strawberry leaves between layers of fruit to prevent bruising.
• You should put a bottle of ice water at the bottom of the box to keep the strawberries fresh longer.
• Strawberries should be carried on your shoulder or placed in the cooler compartment, not mixed with checked luggage, to avoid bruising.

Notes when buying Da Lat strawberries at the farm

When visiting and picking strawberries at the farm, you need to keep a few things in mind:

• Strawberries picked at the farm never cost less than 100,000 VND/kg, so don't believe sweet temptations along the way.
• You should be careful and make sure you have thoroughly researched articles about fraudulent strawberry farms.
• You should read more about how to distinguish Da Lat strawberries from Chinese strawberries. No one can guarantee that strawberries bought at the farm are from that farm; you must pick them yourself when you enter the garden.
• You should carefully choose strawberries that are not damaged, wilted, or have white mold. Make sure the stem is fresh before buying, otherwise it will spoil the whole box.
• At the strawberry farm, visitors should follow instructions and supervise children.
• When entering the garden, you should follow the rules and instructions of the farm owner, otherwise you will have to pay an unnecessary fine.
