5. Store Whole, Not Sliced
Cut strawberries release juices, creating the perfect environment for mold.
What to do:
Keep strawberries whole until you’re ready to use them. Only slice them just before serving.
6. Remove Spoiled Berries Promptly
One bad berry can spoil the entire batch.
Daily maintenance:
Check your container each day. Immediately discard any soft, moldy, or bruised strawberries.
7. Try a Vinegar Soak to Kill Mold Spores
This method can add a few extra days to your strawberries’ shelf life.
