4 Simple Tips To Store Strawberries 2 Times Longer.
My greatest happiness, in the spring, is to see the strawberries on the market stalls again.
I love them in all forms: in salads, in juice, in compote, with chocolate or whipped cream ...
The problem is that strawberries keep very poorly. We often find moldy in the tray ...
It hurts the heart to lose such good fruit, and it also hurts the wallet. Because, let's be honest, strawberries are expensive!
Fortunately, we have found for you 4 great tips for storing strawberries twice as long. Look :
1. Wash them with vinegar water
To prevent your strawberries from molding, here is a simple tip. In a large bowl, pour 250 ml of white vinegar in 500 ml of water. Then, soak the strawberries in this mixture for a few minutes. You will see the water gradually tarnish. After that, dry the strawberries, laying them on a paper towel in a colander or box. Before putting the strawberries in the fridge, make sure they are completely dry. Otherwise, mold will grow there.
2. Remove the tail of the strawberries
The problem with buying strawberries is that they have been picked for hours or even days. And when you know that a strawberry can keep for about 5 to 7 days, there isn't much time left to eat them. To keep them for a few more days, simply remove the stems and leaves from the strawberries. Why ? Because this allows the strawberry to keep its water instead of using it to feed its leaves and wilt more quickly. Remember to remove the stalk of the strawberries only after washing them, otherwise they will soak up the washing water.
3. Cut the moldy part
If you notice that some strawberries in the tray have a moldy part, do not throw them away! Simply cut off the damaged part to prevent mold from spreading to other fruits. Thanks to this trick, all the other strawberries in the tray will be stored without any problem. And don't worry, you can eat the remaining part of the strawberry without worrying about your stomach. It's still better than throwing it away, isn't it?
4. Sweeten the strawberries
If you have bought strawberries that are a little ripe, do not hesitate to prepare them in a salad and to sweeten them generously. You can even add a squeeze of lemon. Thanks to the sugar, you can also keep your strawberries for a few more days. And you will see, they will make a delicious juice that you can drink at the end of your tasting. Mmm too good!
