My kids love strawberries, but especially my 3 year old. He would probably eat a quart of strawberries a day if I let him. I buy them from the grocery store once a week or so, but I always run into the same problem: they start going bad within days. They get mushy, moldy and inedible. It's not fun when my emotional boy asks to eat the strawberries he sees in the fridge and I have to throw them away in front of him. It breaks his little heart.
But, I've found a solution!
Usually, I clean and cut them as they're requested. Instead, I cut the tops off, clean them and put them in a tupperware container that is lined with a papertowel. You can use whatever kind you want; I prefer these long, flat ones. Place a papertowel on top of the strawberries, secure the lid and voilà! They'll last at least 3-4 days longer than they would originally.
Enjoy your strawberries and enjoy saving money!
