Strawberry storage.

Strawberries are cheap at the moment. I bought a punnet for $1! And there were further reports of 4 for a dollar.

A co-worker conducted a strawberry storage experiment, to see how to keep them best—in the fridge, or out of the fridge covered in a tea towel.

Results:

  1. Strawberries on plate covered in towel: significant mould growth and squishiness.
  2. Strawberries in fridge: no visible mould growth and moderate squishiness.
No exciting new storage methods discovered. :(

Thanks, Rachel. I shall continue to refrigerate my strawberries.

  1. put them in a ziplock bag in the fridge or freeze them (you can make smoothies/muffins/snack on them).
