Does it make you want to pull your hair out when you open your strawberry carton and a few of those precious babies have more hair than your husband?
It really irks me!
Our whole family adores popping a strawberry in their mouth for a sweet snack!
But often we forget about the carton of fresh expensive strawberries because somehow they migrate to the back of the fridge.
I found the solution.
And it’s tried and true!
I bought these beautiful strawberries 12 days ago! Don’t they look perfect?
Here is the strawberry secret!
Wash them with vinegar!
-
When you get your berries home, prepare a mixture of one part vinegar and ten parts water.
-
Dump the berries into the mixture and swirl around.
-
Drain, rinse if you want, but not necessary.
-
Store in the fridge.
The vinegar kills any mold spores and other bacteria that might be on the surface of the fruit.
Raspberries will last a week or more, and strawberries go almost two weeks without getting moldy and soft.
And your so BERRY welcome for this frugal tip! LOL!
Have you tried the strawberry secret yet?
