Discover all the secrets to preserve fresh strawberries for longer. From the refrigerator to natural methods, here’s how to best preserve the taste and freshness.
Strawberries are one of the most loved and fresh fruits, but unfortunately they have a short shelf life. If not stored properly, they can quickly mold and lose their sweet taste. Here are some effective secrets and methods to keep strawberries fresh for longer and enjoy the flavor for days!
1. Check the strawberries before storing them
The first step is to select healthy strawberries without defects. Carefully check that there are no rotten or damaged strawberries, as these can quickly ruin the entire batch.
Discard damaged or bruised strawberries.
If a strawberry is too mature, it will be more difficult to keep it fresh for longer.
2. Do not wash strawberries before storing them
It is important not to wash the strawberries before putting them in the fridge. Humidity can accelerate mold formation. Laval only before eating them.
3. Storage in the refrigerator
The refrigerator is the best place to store fresh strawberries. But there are some tricks to follow:
How to store strawberries in a refrigerator:
Use a breathable container: You can use a perforated plastic box or a container with a lid that lets the air through. If you don’t have a breathable container, you can also store strawberries on a sheet of absorbent paper in a paper box or envelope.
Place the strawberries in the less cold part of the refrigerator: if you have a fruit and vegetable area, put them there. Avoid storing them in the coldest part, where they might freeze.
Put the base of the container with absorbent paper: in this way, the absorbent paper sheet will collect excess moisture, keeping the strawberries fresh for longer.
4. Store the strawberries in freezer
If you can’t eat all the strawberries before they start to deteriorate, you can freeze them too. This is a great way to extend their service life and have fresh strawberries available even out of season.
