Strawberry season is beginning - but how not to miscalculate with its choice and store it correctly at home?
1. The berries must be whole, without dents or damage, dry, without liquid at the bottom of the container.
2. The strawberries should be slightly aromatic. And without the admixture of something sour or the smell of fermentation. Odorless strawberries are often tasteless.
3. Strawberry color is even, red, the shade depends on the variety. The berry should be firm, shiny, without spots, the stalk should be bright green.
4. Bring water with you to wash and taste the berry on the spot. This is the best way to judge the real quality of the product.
5. Strawberries always spoil quickly, there is no point in buying them for future use if you are not going to make jam or otherwise process them. For food, you should buy it in small portions.It can be stored in the refrigerator for about 2 days. It is not possible to wash the strawberries in advance - otherwise the juice will drain from it, fermentation will begin.
