Large strawberries

are typically those that measure at least 1.5 inches in diameter. They are usually considered to be of good quality and are very juicy and sweet. Large strawberries are popular among consumers because they are relatively easy to eat and make great additions to fruit salads, desserts, and smoothies. They are also commonly used in baking, such as in the classic American dessert, strawberry shortcake. Some varieties of strawberries, like the California Giant, can grow up to 2 inches in diameter, making them even larger than the average large strawberry.
