Mexican berries—such as strawberries, raspberries, blueberries, and blackberries—have earned a special place in international markets for their intense flavor, freshness, and superior quality. Mexico, and the state of Michoacán in particular, has established itself as one of the world's leading berry exporters, thanks to its temperate climate, fertile soils, and skilled labor force.

In this article, you'll learn what makes Mexican berries unique, how they're grown, and how you can incorporate them into your everyday cooking.
