FAQ
Frequently asked questions.
How long do fresh strawberries last in the fridge?
Fresh strawberries typically last 3 to 7 days in the refrigerator if kept dry and stored properly.
Can you freeze strawberries?
Yes, strawberries freeze well. Wash, hull, and dry them completely before freezing on a tray, then transfer to a freezer bag for up to 12 months.
How do I choose the best strawberries?
Look for bright red berries with a natural shine and fresh-looking green caps. Avoid berries with white or green shoulders, as they do not ripen further after picking.
What is the best way to wash strawberries?
Rinse them under cold running water just before use. Avoid soaking them as they can absorb water and lose flavor.
What can I use as a substitute for strawberries?
Raspberries, blackberries, or blueberries are the best substitutes in most fresh applications and desserts.
Are strawberry seeds edible?
Yes, the tiny yellow 'seeds' on the outside (which are actually the fruit's ovaries called achenes) are completely edible and provide fiber.
Why are my strawberries mushy?
Strawberries become mushy when they are overripe, have been bruised, or have been exposed to too much moisture during storage.
When are strawberries in season?
While available year-round in many places, their peak season is typically from late spring through early summer (April to June).
