Always store strawberries in the fridge—never at room temperature.
Avoid washing until just before use (unless doing the vinegar method).
Eat the ripest ones first.
Variations:
Swap vinegar with lemon juice for a natural alternative (it won’t kill mold as well but adds aroma).
Freeze strawberries if you can’t use them in time—great for smoothies!
FAQ:
Q: Will the vinegar affect the taste of the berries?
A: No, not if you rinse thoroughly after soaking.
Q: Can I store them in the original container?
A: It's better to use a breathable container with a paper towel to prevent moisture buildup.
