Does a strawberry decompose faster than blackberry?

Strawberries are softer and have a higher water content than blackberries, which makes them more susceptible to decomposition. Blackberries are firmer and have a lower water content, which makes them more resistant to decomposition.

In addition, strawberries contain more sugar than blackberries, which can speed up the decomposition process. Sugar is a food source for bacteria and other microorganisms that cause decomposition.

Finally, strawberries are often picked when they are ripe, while blackberries are often picked when they are still slightly unripe. This means that strawberries are already in a more advanced stage of decomposition when they are picked, which can further speed up the process.
