Racing the Clock With Strawberries - Dan Stone

The moment a strawberry is picked, a race against heat, moisture and rot begins. The berries are hustled into trucks which hurry to all corners of the country to provide strawberries to a grocery store near you. This race happens multiple times each day. Dan Stone tells the story of the cross-country cannonball strawberry run, which he completed for National Geographic's Onward blog in its continuing focus on food.
