Strawberry Lifesavers: 7 Expert Tips to Keep Them Fresh and Mold-Free

Vinegar Bath:
Mix 1 part white vinegar with 3 parts cold water. Soak the strawberries for 5 minutes to kill mold spores.

Rinse and Dry Thoroughly:
Rinse under cold water and dry completely using paper towels or a salad spinner. Moisture is the enemy!

Remove Bad Berries:
Discard any mushy or moldy berries immediately—they can spread spoilage.

Don’t Hull Until Ready to Eat:
Keep the green tops on. Removing them too early speeds up spoilage.

Line the Container:
Place a paper towel in the bottom of your storage container to absorb moisture.

Store in Layers:
If stacking berries, separate each layer with another paper towel.

Use a Glass Jar (Bonus Tip):
For best results, place dry berries in a clean, sealed glass jar. They can last up to 2 weeks this way!
