How do you feel about strawberries. I personally like them. They are a treat that we eat whole or sliced with drizzled honey. Did you know that
average strawberry has about 200 seeds on
outside. My kids always contemplate growing strawberries in their tummies after eating
seeds.A quick and easy way to hull out your strawberries is to insert a straw in
bottom of
berry and push it up through
stem.
When you are buying strawberries from
grocery store look for ripe berries that are firm and dry. The green tips should be fresh, not wilted. Turn
box over and check that it is dry. If
bottom is moist or stained some of
berries may be overripe.
To keep
berries fresh for
longest amount of time, do not wash them when you bring them home. Place them in
refrigerator and store until ready to use. Wash them when you take them out to serve, or cook with.
