Strawberry Storage
By Linda Dansbury

The strawberry harvest commences today. All of this rainy weather means the strawberries may be wet when you pick/receive them, making them very susceptible to rotting. There is nothing more depressing than having your berries rot before you get a chance to eat them. If they are wet when you get them home, gently lay them out on a towel and allow to dry before putting them in the fridge - I do keep mine in the u-pick containers because it allows them to breathe.

Never wash berries and then put into the fridge - they will rot quickly.

Enjoy!
