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

This person has made a cubed Fruit Roll-Up. A Fruit Cube-Up if you will.

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

[-] [email protected] 2 points 6 days ago

I didn't steal this industrial freezer because I'm NOT concerned about fruit stackability.

[-] [email protected] 31 points 6 days ago

This is going to come off as a way more devastating insult than I mean for it to be (especially since that actually looks kinda good), but you should know you eat like a Starfield NPC

Fructose and acid are really good for your teeth 🙃

Edit:/s

[-] [email protected] 20 points 6 days ago

the teeth will just have to make do

[-] [email protected] 8 points 6 days ago

The teeth are going to learn that sometimes life isn't fair.

So Turkish Delight with more fruit

[-] [email protected] 18 points 6 days ago

So when I make strawberry cake or strawberry cheesecake I take like a pound of strawberries and cook it down into a thick paste that then is folded into the batter.

I can't tell if OP made cubes out of that paste, which is already bitingly sour from the natural acids in strawberries being so concentrated, or just made jello with strawberry mush and lime juice.

[-] [email protected] 11 points 6 days ago

Sounds like they reduced it without adding any sugar and who knows, an entire squeeze bottle of lime juice?

[-] [email protected] 1 points 6 days ago

As someone who loves sour things..... I see no problem with this.

[-] [email protected] 10 points 6 days ago

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.

[-] [email protected] 8 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago)

Yup, too much acid will curdle your milk. That's why you never hear about orange milkshakes.

[-] [email protected] 3 points 5 days ago

I tried to make carbonated milk with a sodastream once.

I did drink it. Would not recommend.

[-] [email protected] 2 points 5 days ago

I’ve never heard of apple milkshakes either

[-] [email protected] 5 points 5 days ago

Oat milk works.

[-] [email protected] 3 points 5 days ago

Laughs in butter milk

[-] [email protected] 1 points 6 days ago

The freeze dried ones work, but those are a bit pricey.

[-] [email protected] 1 points 6 days ago

sour... and milk? like... sour milk?

They don't gelatine themselves though.

[-] [email protected] 2 points 6 days ago

Strawberries contain pectin, maybe that's sufficient?

[-] [email protected] 2 points 6 days ago

Would be enough to get the rough texture in OPs picture, could add some apple as well as that's a good source of Pectin for setting jams.

[-] [email protected] 15 points 6 days ago

Looks like a meatshtable.

I think that would have to be blueberries.

[-] [email protected] 15 points 6 days ago

so they turned strawberry coulis into jelly cubes. neat

[-] [email protected] 7 points 6 days ago

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.

[-] [email protected] 8 points 6 days ago

reminds me of the nutrient blocks on snowpiercer but made with something tasty instead of cockroaches

[-] [email protected] 5 points 6 days ago

So add lime juice to the cockroach cubes?

[-] [email protected] 2 points 6 days ago

shit ok. Throw in some chili peppers too and now we're talkin

boxes of strawberries

What?

[-] [email protected] 7 points 6 days ago

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'.

[-] [email protected] 3 points 6 days ago

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."

[-] [email protected] 1 points 6 days ago

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.

[-] [email protected] 2 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago)

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.

[-] [email protected] 1 points 6 days ago

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.

[-] [email protected] 3 points 6 days ago

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.

[-] [email protected] 5 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago)

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