Storing Strawberries: How to Keep Them Fresh and Juicy

If you store fresh strawberries correctly, you can enjoy them for a long time in the summer: the fruits go with almost everything. Unfortunately, these often become muddy shortly after purchase. Read here how you can avoid this.

Store strawberries correctly – this is how it works

Strawberries are fruits that quickly become moldy. They are best kept in the fridge. Be sure to eliminate sources of moisture.

• It is best to keep the strawberries in the vegetable compartment of your refrigerator.
• Don’t wash the fruit after you buy it, as this makes them even more vulnerable and they lose their flavor.
• The strawberries should only be cleaned shortly before further processing or consumption.
• It is best to store the fruit in a sieve in the vegetable compartment, as this allows them to be ventilated from all sides and any liquid can drain off.
• Tip: Put newspaper or kitchen paper in the compartment so that condensation can be sucked up directly.
• You can also freeze or preserve the strawberries so they will keep for quite a while.
