The research centre of the Kent Incorporated Scclety have established a panel of 24 adulta who taste and entegorise the strawberries before they are sold.
Panel members are asked to assess the general acceptability of each strawberry, taking into consideration the factors of texture, aroma and flavour.
They are then paked to grade them by numbers' from one to five, with the blue ribbon going to Ave,
The researchers have even taken the human factor lato consideration. Members of:
the panel have been broken up into those with a sweet tooth, those with a taste for sharp things. and smokers and non-smokers, The resulta, offelals say, have balanced out pretty consistently.
