How to store:

3. Refrigerate at the Right Temperature

Refrigeration slows down spoilage, but only if done correctly.

Best practices:

Store strawberries in the crisper drawer of your fridge, ideally between 32–36°F (0–2°C).

Keep them away from the coldest sections (usually at the back), as freezing temperatures can damage them.
