The strawberry mistake almost everyone makes: Experts say stop doing this before you store them
You bring home a box of strawberries, rinse them at the sink so they are ready to go, dry them off, and put them in the fridge. It feels like the responsible thing to do. It is also the single fastest way to lose half of them to mold by Wednesday.
TL;DR
- Washing strawberries upon purchase is a common, seemingly responsible action.
- This habit significantly speeds up the molding process.
- Storing strawberries after washing leads to them spoiling faster.
