British strawberries are delish and sweet but need to be consumed within a couple of days of buying them as they are one of many berries that start to deteriorate quickly, going mushy and mouldy.<\/p>\n
Nicole K. Modic, aka @kalejunkie on TikTok, shared her two storage solutions for strawberries, and apparently, it makes the berries \u201clast for weeks\u201d.<\/p>\n
In a video, she said: \u201cIf you\u2019re new here, I share a lot of food tips and today, I\u2019m going to tell you every single thing you need to know about how to store your berrries, how to wash them and even how to make them last for weeks.<\/p>\n
\u201cIf you\u2019re going to eat your berries within a few days, do not wash them.<\/p>\n
\u201cFirst, go through and pick out any mouldy ones and remove those. If any mouldy strawberries touch others, they will go bad too.<\/p>\n

\u201cNow place a paper towel on top and store in the fridge – you can use the clamshell container the berries came in or ust transfer to a glass container, it\u2019s really just personal preference.\u201d<\/p>\n
She continued: \u201cNow let\u2019s talk about how to wash these berries, you don\u2019t need to buy any fancy fruit or berry wash.<\/p>\n
\u201cJust add your berries to a bowl with a few teaspoons of salt and cold water. Let the berries sit in the solution for five minutes, rinse them off and enjoy. You\u2019re going to be amazed at all the grime and dirt that comes off.<\/p>\n
\u201cSo now I\u2019m really going to blow your mind. Suppose you buy berries in bulk and you aren\u2019t going to use them in a few days, you want to make them last a week or even two weeks. Here\u2019s how.<\/p>\n

\u201cLet this sit for 10 minutes and then drain the bowl.\u201d Note, you don\u2019t wash or rinse the berries after they have sat in the vinegar-water solution.<\/p>\n
Nicole said: \u201cDry the berries well – moisture is the enemy. Then add your dry berries to a container with a paper towel on the bottom, and I also add one on top for good measure.<\/p>\n
\u201cPop the container in the fridge and you\u2019re good to go for a couple of weeks.\u201d<\/p>\n
She concluded with: \u201cThis question comes up a lot – no they do not taste like vinegar, and if you\u2019re working with fragile berries like raspberries, make sure they\u2019re not too ripe and soft to begin with, otherwise this method won\u2019t work.\u201d<\/p>\n
