Tips how to look after fresh strawberries
- Do not wash or remove caps before storing as berries absorb moisture.
- Immediately before using quickly wash berries (do not soak), with caps still intact, so the berries will not fill with water which, dilutes the flavour of the strawberry.
The strawberries from my garden are big enough, most of them are smallish though, and red, but the taste is sweet and full of flavour. Last year we harvested about eight hundred grams maybe. I hope I will get more this year. So far, it has been enjoyable.
