Are you trying to find a solution to keep strawberries fresh forever?

In the fridge, there are three guaranteed ways to extend the life of the fresh berries in a single carton, even if you don’t eat them all at once.

If you’re sick of throwing away perfectly excellent strawberries because they went bad too fast, try some of these simple methods.

The following is a collection of the top advice for strawberry storage at any stage:

ice water strawberries, strawberries that have just been purchased, strawberries that are withering in vinegar, and paper towels

For a longer shelf life, strawberries can be cleaned in vinegar and put in a dish.

Do this the first time you buy strawberries.

In a large bowl, combine white vinegar with 1 part vinegar and 5 parts water. Place the berries in the solution, and then give them some time to soak. The germs and mold spores that cause fruit to rot fast will be eliminated by the vinegar. You can see how the water looks after the strawberries have been washed in the image above. Yikes! 😳

The next step is to fully dry the berries, which can be done in a colander or by spinning them in a salad spinner. Put the berries in the refrigerator when they have fully dried.

You should take into account if the strawberries have a vinegary flavor, though.

We’re confident they don’t. This technique is supposedly useful for blackberries and raspberries as well, however I haven’t personally tested it.

Strawberries will live longer if they are placed in icy water.

When strawberries begin to wilt, do this.

Wait 20 minutes after adding the fruit to a big dish with ice and water. Now I’m done!

We can see on Instagram that this suggestion, which was initially offered in House Beautiful and is now gaining popularity since it is said to resuscitate fading strawberries.

Try washing your strawberries in ice water to give them a fresher, brighter, and plumper appearance—the pictures speak for themselves.

Despite the fact that we have no understanding how it does it, it works!

Since it doesn’t operate like magic to make rotten food taste as though it was freshly picked, this trick obviously won’t work if your strawberries are already past their prime.

When strawberries are kept in a paper towel-lined container, their shelf life is extended.

When they go, keep doing this.

This tip is appropriate for a wide range of berries. After using the first or second piece of advise we provided above, placing your fruit on a paper towel in the refrigerator can keep it even fresher for longer.

Keeping your berries as dry as you can will help them stay longer since mildew thrives in wet environments.

If you want your strawberries to last longer in the refrigerator, place a paper towel in the bottom of the container to soak up any additional moisture.

Strawberries should be preserved in a Mason jar and kept in the coldest region of the refrigerator, according to several readers.

Use one if you have one on hand!

You should eat those excellent cherries right away. Yum!
