Vermont strawberry farms, pick your own vt strawberries Strawberries are a favorite summertime treat for many people. Going and picking some yourself can make for a fun day with family and friends. Obviously, you want to get the most out of your strawberries. So, here are some tips to keep in mind while picking and later storing strawberries.

When it comes to selecting the perfect strawberry there are a few things to keep in mind. First of all select bright red berries that still have their cap. Keep in mind that the smaller berries are usually more sweet and flavorful. Avoid any that are moldy, soft, or shriveled.

Strawberries are best when eaten right away. Make sure not to wash them until right before you are ready to eat them. This is because water on berries will speed up deterioration. If storage is desired place the strawberries on a paper towel in a lightly covered container and place in the refrigerator. The strawberries usually keep for 2 – 3 days this way. Strawberries can also be frozen either whole or sliced, make sure to put them in a container made for the freezer. Strawberries can be kept this way for up to a year.
