Other kinds of fruit have higher sugar content; jujube is reportedly highest, reaching thirties or even forties. For a strawberry 13-14 is quite good, though. Here's a sophisticated amateur who managed to hit 14.5 (with lower average):

Also that price is for "11 medium berries or eight large berries", and has now dropped to $20. That's still a bit ridiculous, though it's not clear to me what fraction of their harvest is actually saleable at the high price.

Actually at $20 for 8 - 11 berries, that's not a bad deal -- but only if they're actually exceptional quality.
