For a naturally sweetened twist, toss sliced strawberries in a bit of sugar or lemon juice before freezing. This adds flavor and helps maintain texture during thawing, making them perfect for desserts and toppings.

FAQ:

Q: Can I freeze strawberries without flash-freezing first?
A: Yes, but they might clump together. Flash-freezing helps keep them separate and easier to portion later.

Q: Will frozen strawberries be mushy after thawing?
A: They may soften slightly, but if properly frozen and used in recipes like smoothies, sauces, or baking, the texture won’t be a problem.

Q: Can I store strawberries in jars instead of bags?
A: Absolutely! Use freezer-safe glass jars or BPA-free plastic containers, but make sure to leave room at the top for expansion.
