How to Keep Strawberries Fresh

People often want to know the best way to keep strawberries fresh. From our studies, we have found the best method to be removing all of the moldy or damaged ones and placing the good strawberries in the refridgerator in layers separated by paper towels inside a plastic container or sealed bag. This works great for short term storage- up to 3 days.


For anything longer than that, the strawberries will need to be frozen in a sealed plastic bag. Whatever storage method you use, do not wash the strawberries before storing them. Wait until you plan to eat them to rinse them off to ensure freshness.
