One is hydroculture, the other earth-grown.
No, one was picked while ripe, the other was picked beforehand. Store bought fruit can’t be picked at the right time because it will rot before it gets to the shelf, unless that store is buying from local farmers. The farmer can wait to pick it when it’s ready, so you get much higher quality fruit that is more colorful, sweeter, and softer than store bought.
