Storage Tips

Store strawberries in the refrigerator to maintain freshness, ideally in their original container or a breathable container lined with paper towels to absorb excess moisture. Avoid washing them until just before use to prevent spoilage. For longer storage, freeze strawberries by washing, hulling, and spreading them on a baking sheet before transferring to an airtight container.
