How do you feel about strawberries. I personally like them. They are a treat that we eat whole or sliced with drizzled honey. Did you know that average strawberry has about 200 seeds on outside. My kids always contemplate growing strawberries in their tummies after eating seeds.A quick and easy way to hull out your strawberries is to insert a straw in bottom of berry and push it up through stem.
When you are buying strawberries from grocery store look for ripe berries that are firm and dry. The green tips should be fresh, not wilted. Turn box over and check that it is dry. If bottom is moist or stained some of berries may be overripe.
To keep berries fresh for longest amount of time, do not wash them when you bring them home. Place them in refrigerator and store until ready to use. Wash them when you take them out to serve, or cook with.
