Strawberry Care
Use strawberries as soon after harvesting or purchasing
as possible. Refrigerator storage does not improve the
quality of fresh strawberries. Berries should  not
be left at room temperature for more than a few hours.
Warm temperatures cause a browning effect in strawberries.
The pigments that make strawberries red, anthocyanin, are
heat sensitive. They break apart and turn brown when exposed
to heat. Strawberries also lose heat-sensitive Vitamin C during
browning, heating and cooking.
Store unwashed berries loosely covered with plastic wrap
in the coolest part of your refrigerator for two or three
days at most. Do not wash berries until ready to use.
To wash, place berries in a colander and rinse under cold
running water. Do not allow berries to set in water as
they will lose colour and flavour.
After washing, remove the green cap with a plastic-tipped
vegetable peeler or paring knife without removing any
of the fruit.
