I grew up on a farm and strawberries were one of the big crops. You might be right but I think the biggest thing is that they are simply picked green. Not 100% green, but as soon as they show a little red, they are picked. They last MUCH longer this way, but at the cost of flavor. There are different varieties, but those two berries look the same (most of the ones you see are the jewel variety)
