Place the fresh strawberries in a colander. Rinse them thoroughly under cool, gentle running water for about 1 minute. Avoid soaking them, as they can become waterlogged and lose flavor.
Carefully spread the rinsed strawberries on a clean kitchen towel or a layer of paper towels. Gently pat them dry. Ensuring they are completely dry is key to preventing them from becoming mushy.
Remove the green leafy tops (hulls) from each strawberry. You can do this by using a small paring knife to cut a small cone shape at the top or by using a dedicated strawberry huller.
Serve the strawberries immediately. You can serve them whole, sliced in half, or quartered. Enjoy them plain or with your favorite accompaniments.
