As a rule, fresh strawberries spoil quickly. We will tell you how to safely extend the shelf life of strawberries.
How to properly store strawberries
To keep berries longer, do not wash them for storage. Place the dirty berries in a plastic container in the refrigerator.
The fact is that strawberries quickly enter water, which spoils faster.
Make sure there is enough space in the container. Berries should not overlap each other.
Another life hack is to use Mason jars. Tightness of storage guarantees long freshness of berries.
The shelf life of strawberries is also affected by their original freshness in the store or market.
Choose berries that look fresh.
To prolong storage, remove spoiled berries from the container. The mold grows quickly and can spread to all strawberries. Bad berries should be thrown into the trash.
If you need to keep your strawberries for more than one week, choose to freeze the berries.
Frozen strawberries keep up to 1 year.
In addition, frozen berries can be used for desserts and pastries all year round.
