Tips for Buying Strawberries

  • Look for bright red strawberries that are firm, plump and smell sweet. Avoid any with mold, soft spots, or green patches.
  • If you can, try to find locally grown strawberries, because they tend to be sweeter than “greenhouse” strawberries. Purchase them during their peak season for the best taste.
  • Ensure the stems are green, fresh, and firmly attached to the berries. This indicates freshness.
  • Handle strawberries gently to avoid bruising or damaging them. They are delicate fruits and can become easily crushed.
  • Place unwashed strawberries in a paper towel-lined container or a breathable plastic bag. Store them in the refrigerator to keep them fresh for longer.
  • Wash strawberries just before eating or using them in recipes. Rinse them under cool water, gently pat them dry, and remove the stems if desired.
  • Strawberries are best enjoyed within a few days of purchase. If you can’t consume them all, freeze the extras by removing the stems, placing them on a baking sheet in a single layer to freeze, and then transferring them to an airtight container or freezer bag.
