When you get back from the market or supermarket, we’re often tempted to quickly put strawberries in the refrigerator. This isn’t the best idea! First, take a few minutes to inspect them one by one. Like a bad apple in a basket, a single damaged strawberry can send the entire tray into disrepair. So, discard any that are already soft, stained, or showing signs of mold.
Don’t wash too soon: moisture is the number one enemy
It’s tempting to wash everything at once… but that’s precisely the wrong thing to do. Water is a real mold accelerator for strawberries. Like sponges, they absorb moisture and quickly become soft. The trick? Rinse them only when you’re ready to eat them.
The vinegar bath trick: surprising, but incredibly effective
For the more forward-thinking, there’s a solution: the vinegar bath. Mix 1 part white vinegar with 3 parts water, and immerse your strawberries in it for 5 to 10 minutes. This simple step eliminates mold spores. Then, dry them with a clean cloth or paper towel. It’s a bit like a mini spa treatment for your fruit.
Smart refrigeration: the right container, in the right place
The refrigerator is essential, but don’t store your strawberries haphazardly. Forget sealed plastic bags that trap moisture. Choose a flat container, lined with paper towel, with the strawberries spread out evenly. Place it in the vegetable drawer, where the temperature is stable (around 1 to 4°C). It’s the perfect balance to prevent condensation while keeping the fruit fresh.
