Rinse strawberries only right before eating.
Use cold water and optionally add a splash of white vinegar to kill bacteria.
2. Use a Dry, Breathable Storage Container
Airflow and dryness are key to keeping strawberries fresh.
How to store:
Line a shallow container with paper towels to absorb moisture.
Use a container with ventilation holes, or leave the lid slightly ajar.
Avoid sealed plastic bags—they trap humidity and promote mold.
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.
4. Freeze for Long-Term Use
Freezing is perfect if you won’t eat them all within a week.
Steps for freezing:
Gently wash and fully dry the strawberries.
Remove the stems.
Spread on a baking sheet in a single layer and freeze.
Once frozen, transfer to a freezer-safe bag or container.
Tip: Frozen strawberries can last over 6 months and are great for smoothies, sauces, and baking.
5. Store Whole, Not Sliced
Cut strawberries release juices, creating the perfect environment for mold.
What to do:
Keep strawberries whole until you’re ready to use them.
Only slice them just before serving.
6. Remove Spoiled Berries Promptly
