How to Keep Strawberries Fresh for Longer: 7 Proven Tips to Prevent Mold and Spoilage🍓

1. Avoid washing until just before meals

Water is the enemy of long-lasting strawberries – it sticks to the surface and triggers mold growth.

Best practice:

• Just rinse before eating.

• Use cold water and for added protection, add a little vinegar to kill surface bacteria.

2. Use a dry, breathable container

Airflow + dryness = longer-lasting berries.

How to store:

• Line a shallow dish with paper towels to absorb moisture.

• Use a container with ventilation holes or leave the lid slightly open.

• Avoid sealed plastic bags – they trap moisture and promote mold growth.

3. Store in the refrigerator at the appropriate temperature

Strawberries like it cold, but not ice.

• Store in the fruit and vegetable drawer  at 0–2 °C  .

• Avoid the very back of the refrigerator, where the temperature can drop so low that it can freeze and damage products.
