nisht: please read the cRc description. Most strawberries are round and smooth and they advise water and cutting off the top,just as I have been saying on this thread.
As far as kulos and chumros and halochos, the question remains, did they eat strawberries a hundred years ago, for example? and did they use soap? My whole argument on this post was based on the fact that today, we are doing things that were never required in previous times. Hence- the “chumro-ization” of yiddishkeit.
