Honestly, that sounds like it would be tasty. I love strawberries, and I love geometric gelatinous shapes.

Fructose and acid are really good for your teeth 🙃
Edit:/s
the teeth will just have to make do
The teeth are going to learn that sometimes life isn't fair.
This is going to come off as a way more devastating insult than I mean for it to be (especially since that actually looks kinda good), but you should know you eat like a Starfield NPC
So when I make strawberry cake or strawberry cheesecake I take like a pound of strawberries and cook it down into a thick paste that then is folded into the batter.
I can't tell if OP made cubes out of that paste, which is already bitingly sour from the natural acids in strawberries being so concentrated, or just made jello with strawberry mush and lime juice.
Sounds like they reduced it without adding any sugar and who knows, an entire squeeze bottle of 
As someone who loves sour things..... I see no problem with this.
Dentists love this!
so they turned strawberry coulis into jelly cubes. neat
Looks like a meatshtable.
Recipe?
- Strawberry
- lime juice
They don't gelatine themselves though.
Strawberries contain pectin, maybe that's sufficient?
Would be enough to get the rough texture in OPs picture, could add some apple as well as that's a good source of Pectin for setting jams.
Energon cube.
I think that would have to be blueberries.
So Turkish Delight with more fruit
On a somewhat related note, don't make strawberry milkshake with real strawberries.
Holy fuck sour and milk did not make for a good combination. I'll stick with banana.
Yup, too much acid will curdle your milk. That's why you never hear about orange milkshakes.
I’ve never heard of apple milkshakes either
I tried to make carbonated milk with a sodastream once.
I did drink it. Would not recommend.
Oat milk works.
Laughs in butter milk
sour... and milk? like... sour milk?
The freeze dried ones work, but those are a bit pricey.
Edit: But for strawberry flavour in a smoothie, why fuck around? Throw in some jam.
reminds me of the nutrient blocks on snowpiercer but made with something tasty instead of cockroaches
So add lime juice to the cockroach cubes?
shit ok. Throw in some chili peppers too and now we're talkin
boxes of strawberries
What?
Americans typically call clamshell containers a box, which is the predominate way berries are sold in grocery stores.
Fresher and farmstand berries often come in cardboard baskets. The boxes those baskets usually come in are usually called and sold as 'flats'.
I'm a Murican but I'm more used to "baskets" vs "boxes". It's all good.
I think I was just picturing the wrong kind of box, like a cardboard box Amazon ships in or something.
I'm American and I've never heard of it called a "box," but rather a "container" or "pack." Those plastic clamshell containers just aren't sturdy enough to be a "box."
Maybe its a west coast thing. Although my spouse conveniently went out to buy berries from a stand, and referred to them as 'thingies' of strawberries, so maybe I'm just off on that. Colloquialisms and other such nomenclature isn't as regional as they used to be I think.
I'm from the west coast as well (born and raised in WA, currently live in Utah). Maybe it's regional? If someone said "box of strawberries," my thoughts go to those "you pick" places where you fill up an open-top cardboard box of strawberries, or those fruit stands that sell those same cardboard boxes of strawberries. I've never called the plastic clamshell containers a "box" though.
But yeah, I'd probably understand you given context, but it's not how I'd refer to them.
Words can be pretty regional, so maybe it's a Cali thing. Idk, my family in Cali are immigrants who speak a different language, so I don't think I've ever heard to them refer to the container of strawberries in English.
I was raised my a combo of east coast and mid west, but I'm PNW as well. It took me until my late twenties for anyone to call me out on 'irregardless' out here since that's just what grandpa said to me.
I gotta ask around now. I had a few roommates that referred to them as a box that may be overrepresenting.
In my country strawberries are (also) sold in crates of 5kg during harvest time (which is now). Maybe that's what they meant.
I think you kinda reinvented something they already do in the middle east. I have no idea what the name is but they sometimes sell something similar but i think thats made with a hot press and the flesh of the fruit.
Rectangular meat?
