How to keep fresh strawberries
Although gastronomy professionals recommend, preferably, use fresh strawberries, we cannot always prepare or consume them the same day. If we want to keep strawberries (either short or long), the most important thing is to take into account the four factors that accelerate the aging of this food: heat, manipulation, transport and humidity. If we control these four aspects, we can manipulate the duration of strawberries. If you want of a broad container with absorbent paper. Make sure it covers all the walls of the container.
– Check and select the best strawberries. Separate those that are in bad conditions or very mistreated. These can be left to wear that same day in a shake or jam.
– Do not wash the strawberries that you are going to reserve, do not cut their stem, because they are better whole.
– If they present moisture, dry each strawberry with absorbent paper and carefully not to bruise.
– Place the strawberries inside the container. Let them have space with each other and do not pile them up. If necessary, look for another container to save those that do not.
