If you want to go a step further, you can freeze strawberries for long-term storage. Simply hull and slice the berries, spread them on a baking sheet to freeze individually, then transfer to a freezer bag. This is perfect for smoothies or baking.
FAQ:
Q: Why shouldn’t I wash strawberries before storing?
A: Moisture speeds up spoilage. Washing adds moisture, making berries more prone to mold unless thoroughly dried.
Q: How long will strawberries last with this method?
A: Properly stored, strawberries can last up to 7 days in the fridge—sometimes longer.
Q: Can I use apple cider vinegar instead of white vinegar?
A: Yes, though white vinegar is preferred due to its neutral flavor and stronger antimicrobial properties.
Q: Do I need a special storage container?
A: Not necessarily, but a breathable produce container or a container with the lid slightly ajar helps control moisture.
