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.
