    Honestly, that sounds like it would be tasty. I love strawberries, and I love geometric gelatinous shapes.

      They’re a lot more stackable in this form factor. If that’s important to you, of course.

      Americans typically call clamshell containers a box, which is the predominate way berries are sold in grocery stores.

      Fresher and farmstand berries often come in cardboard baskets. The boxes those baskets usually come in are usually called and sold as ‘flats’.

        I’m American and I’ve never heard of it called a “box,” but rather a “container” or “pack.” Those plastic clamshell containers just aren’t sturdy enough to be a “box.”

          Maybe its a west coast thing. Although my spouse conveniently went out to buy berries from a stand, and referred to them as ‘thingies’ of strawberries, so maybe I’m just off on that. Colloquialisms and other such nomenclature isn’t as regional as they used to be I think.

            I’m from the west coast as well (born and raised in WA, currently live in Utah). Maybe it’s regional? If someone said “box of strawberries,” my thoughts go to those “you pick” places where you fill up an open-top cardboard box of strawberries, or those fruit stands that sell those same cardboard boxes of strawberries. I’ve never called the plastic clamshell containers a “box” though.

            But yeah, I’d probably understand you given context, but it’s not how I’d refer to them.

            Words can be pretty regional, so maybe it’s a Cali thing. Idk, my family in Cali are immigrants who speak a different language, so I don’t think I’ve ever heard to them refer to the container of strawberries in English.

              I was raised my a combo of east coast and mid west, but I’m PNW as well. It took me until my late twenties for anyone to call me out on ‘irregardless’ out here since that’s just what grandpa said to me.

              I gotta ask around now. I had a few roommates that referred to them as a box that may be overrepresenting.

        I’m a Murican but I’m more used to “baskets” vs “boxes”. It’s all good.

        I think I was just picturing the wrong kind of box, like a cardboard box Amazon ships in or something.

      In my country strawberries are (also) sold in crates of 5kg during harvest time (which is now). Maybe that’s what they meant.

    On a somewhat related note, don’t make strawberry milkshake with real strawberries.

    Holy fuck sour and milk did not make for a good combination. I’ll stick with banana.

    I think you kinda reinvented something they already do in the middle east. I have no idea what the name is but they sometimes sell something similar but i think thats made with a hot press and the flesh of the fruit.
