I love strawberries and buy one pack every week.
Maybe I’m the only one who has this problem, but sometimes I’m not able to eat them before they go bad. I try to eat them within a week, but when I’m really busy, they just sit, and sit, and sit. Then they turn fuzzy and throw them out.
I’ve figured it out!
Usually I just leave them in my fridge in their package. The problem with that is that I can’t just spontaneously eat strawberries:
I have to wash them, put them in a bowl, sometimes cut their tops off. It just takes too much time!
If I get in a pattern, I can cut off their stems and cut them in half in about 2 seconds per strawberry. That means I only need about two minutes to process a pound of strawberries. I put them into a container that goes into my fridge.
Then, I can go for a run, and have a strawberries. Strawberries go perfect with a chocolate protein shake. I can have strawberries anytime!
So I guess the real trick to make strawberries last long enough to eat them is to eat them before they go bad! Magic!
