- Cover loosely with the container’s lid or a layer of plastic wrap with small holes for air circulation.
🍓 Method 2: In a Glass Jar
Many swear by this method! Store completely dry strawberries in a clean, dry glass jar with a tight lid. Place in the fridge. Somehow, this simple trick keeps them firm and mold-free for up to 10 days.
🚫 What Not to Do
- Don’t wash strawberries until you’re ready to eat them, unless you’re using the vinegar method above.
- Don’t store in airtight plastic without ventilation—they’ll sweat and spoil faster.
- Don’t leave them on the counter for more than a day—they last much longer refrigerated.
🕒 How Long Can They Last?
With this method, your strawberries can stay fresh and tasty for:
- Up to 7 days with paper-towel storage
- 8–10 days with the glass jar method
- Only 1–2 days if left in the original store container
🍰 Bonus: Use Up Overripe Strawberries
If a few start getting soft, don’t toss them! Use them in:
- Smoothies or milkshakes
- Jam or compote
- Pancake or waffle topping
- Baking (like muffins or quick breads)
