You could just keep your fresh strawberries from the store in the refrigerator in the original package. But that’s not the best way to store strawberries.
In this video, I’m sharing 3 ways to store strawberries depending on how long you need them to keep. Plus a bonus lazy way too.
Time Stamp for Each Technique...
First Method, 3-7 days storage start at 0:44
Second Method, 7-10 days storage start at 1:45
Third Method, Up to 2 weeks storage start at 3:09
Bonus Lazy Method, Up to 10 days storage start at 5:36
