The Vinegar Bath Trick: Surprising, but Incredibly Effective
For those who plan ahead, try a vinegar bath. Mix 1 part white vinegar to 3 parts water and soak the strawberries for 5 to 10 minutes. This kills off mold spores and slows spoilage.
Afterward, dry them completely with a clean cloth or paper towel. Think of it as a mini spa day for your strawberries.
Smart Refrigeration: The Right Container, in the Right Place
Yes, strawberries belong in the fridge—but how you store them matters. Skip the sealed plastic bags (they trap moisture) and instead use a flat container lined with paper towels.
Spread the berries out in a single layer and place the container in your vegetable drawer, where the temperature is more stable (around 1 to 4°C). This balance prevents condensation while preserving freshness.
Keeping the Stems: A Detail That Changes Everything
Don’t remove the green tops until you’re ready to eat the berries. The stem acts as a natural barrier, helping lock in moisture and delay spoilage. It’s a small detail, but it makes a big difference.
