FAQ

How many calories and carbs are in strawberries?

How do you store strawberries to keep them fresh?
Store unwashed strawberries in the refrigerator in a container that allows for some airflow, such as a perforated plastic bin. Do not wash them until right before consumption, as moisture causes them to mold and spoil quickly.
Can you freeze strawberries?

How do you prepare strawberries for eating?
Rinse strawberries under cold running water just before serving. After washing, remove the green leafy hull (the calyx) by slicing it off or using a strawberry huller to preserve as much of the fruit as possible.
How can you tell if strawberries have gone bad?
Check for signs of white or grey mold, which spreads rapidly between berries. Other signs of spoilage include a very soft or mushy texture, dark bruising, or a fermented, sour smell.
