If you think all strawberries are the same, you might be surprised to learn there are hundreds of varieties ranging in color, size, sweetness and growing season. Growers choose their preferred variety "either for the quality of the berry or the quantity of the berry," said Tannwen Mount, co-owner of Terhune Orchards in Princeton, New Jersey. "Wholesalers want ones that grow in quantity" and that can stand up better in transit than some of the more fragile varieties.

In Venezuela, daily routines seem undisturbed: children attending school, adults going to work, vendors opening their businesses. But beneath this facade lurks anxiety, fear, and frustration, with some even taking preventative measures against a possible attack amid the tension between the United States and Venezuela.
