Strawberries
Best to Buy
Choose smaller, bright-red berries with a sweet aroma. Fresh strawberries are highly perishable, so use them right away for the best flavor and appearance.
Prep & Store
Just before serving, wash under a gentle spray of cool water with green caps still attached. For best flavor, serve at room temperature. After washing, pull off the caps with a slight twist or cut out with a paring knife.
Tasty Tip
Strawberries freeze well and make great drinks, smoothies, and sauces year-round. Place sliced, stemmed berries into a freezer bag in a single layer, seal, and freeze. To use, thaw in the fridge and use within three days.
