COOKING TIPS
In the kitchen.
- 1Use directly from the freezer for smoothies to create a thick, icy texture without needing extra ice.
- 2When thawed, frozen strawberries become soft and release juice, making them ideal for creating sauces, compotes, or coulis.
- 3For baking in muffins or cakes, toss the frozen strawberries in a small amount of flour before adding to the batter to prevent them from sinking.
- 4Thaw in the refrigerator overnight for a gentler defrosting process that helps retain some texture, compared to microwaving which can make them mushy.
STORAGE
Keep it fresh.
- Store in the original packaging or an airtight container in the freezer at 0°F (-18°C) or below.
- For best quality, use within 8-12 months of purchase. Once opened, reseal the bag tightly to prevent freezer burn.

What are the best ways to use frozen strawberries?
Frozen strawberries are incredibly versatile. They are perfect for smoothies, adding a cold, thick texture without needing ice. You can also use them in baked goods like muffins or pies, make sauces, jams, or simply thaw them slightly for a refreshing topping on yogurt, oatmeal, or ice cream.
Do frozen strawberries need to be thawed before use?
It depends on the intended use. For smoothies, they can be used directly from the freezer. If you're adding them to baked goods or want to eat them whole, thawing them in the refrigerator for a few hours or briefly in the microwave is recommended.
How long do frozen strawberries last in the freezer?
Properly stored frozen strawberries can last for 8-12 months in a standard freezer while maintaining good quality. Beyond this, they are generally still safe to eat but may experience a decline in texture and flavor.
Do I need to wash frozen strawberries?
Most commercially frozen strawberries are washed and ready to use before freezing. However, if you're concerned or if the packaging doesn't specify, a quick rinse under cold water after thawing (if thawing) won't hurt, but it's generally not necessary for safety.
