Strawberry

About Strawberry

With their bright red color, sweet aroma, and tiny external seeds, strawberries are the absolute darlings of the fruit bowl. Botanically, they aren't true berries, but aggregations of tiny fruits! Beyond their romantic culinary reputation, strawberries are nutritional heavy hitters. They pack more immune-boosting Vitamin C per serving than oranges, all while keeping calories remarkably low, making them a refreshing, guilt-free luxury for any time of day.

How to choose

Choose strawberries that are shiny, plump, and uniformly bright red all the way up to the green stem cap. Strawberries do not continue to ripen once picked, so avoid any with large white or green patches near the top—they will stay tart!

Storage

Keep the green caps on until you are ready to eat them to prevent moisture from sneaking into the core. Store them unwashed in a single layer on a paper towel inside a ventilated container in your fridge. Use them within 3 to 5 days for the ultimate sweet experience.
