More about Strawberries

Strawberries are fully ripe when they are picked and do not continue to ripen after picking. They should have a bright red color, natural shine, and fresh-looking green caps. Always refrigerate your strawberries immediately. Keep berries away from moisture and stack them carefully.

Don’t wash berries until just before use. Leave green caps on and wash berries with a gentle cold water spray. After washing, remove the green caps from the berries with a slight twist or with the point of a paring knife.

Strawberries are suitable for your health and are naturally fat, sodium, and cholesterol-free, with one serving (about eight fruits or 1 cup) containing a mere 50 calories. Berries also help control three risk factors associated with heart disease: high cholesterol AND high blood pressure.
