What does "durant" mean exactly in this sentence? Why would it not be "durantes"?

Hey,
I often struggle with grammar but am a little confused as to why it is 'de tomates' but followed by 'des fraises' after. both subjects are plural so why is it not 'des tomates' ? I imagine it is to do with 'un kilo de ...' ? Just wondered if anyone could explain this
Thanks!

BAGS (Beauty, Age, Good or Bad, Size)
