Everything about strawberries is great except the fact that they spoil quickly. If you don’t eat them in a day or two, they will go bad. Luckily, there are some things you can do to keep your strawberries fresh for longer than that.

Don’t Wash Them Right Away

One of the biggest mistakes you can make with your strawberries is to wash them as soon as you bring them home. The moisture will cause them to develop mold and accelerate spoilage.

Wrap Them in a Paper Towel

In order to prevent moisture from other sources, wrap your strawberries in a paper towel or line the box with it. The paper towel will soak in the moisture and keep it away from the strawberries.

Store Them in an Airtight Container

Placing strawberries in an airtight container will prevent them from drying out and keep the outside factors from influencing their shelf life. The container with strawberries should be placed in a fridge. 

Line Them in Rows

Another great way to minimize spoilage is to line strawberries in rows instead of stacking them on top of each other. This way, you’ll prevent mold from one strawberry from transferring to others.

You’ll Pick the Best Ones

We all know how annoying it is when we bring strawberries home from the supermarket only to learn that half of them aren’t good. But when you go strawberry picking, you don’t have to worry about getting “bad” strawberries because you’re only picking ones that you like!

It’ll Make Eating an Adventure

Eating food is so much more than just ensuring our own survival. It’s a historical thing that connects us all. But our modern society makes it so easy for us to access food, making our experience much different than that of our ancestors. By picking strawberries ourselves, you’ll connect yourself more to the way that our great-great-great-grandparents ate food, roaming in the fields and harvesting crops.

Looking for ideas to make milkshakes that go beyond the traditional chocolate and vanilla flavors? Here are three great ingredients to try.

Oreo Cookies

The world’s favorite cookie to drink in milk, unsurprisingly, also goes great when incorporated into milkshakes. The chocolate cookie breaks into small chunks that spread throughout the milkshake, imbuing the dessert with a crispy, chocolately essence that you’ll love.

Fresh Strawberries

One of our favorite milkshake combinations is fresh strawberries with vanilla ice cream. Evoking the classic strawberries and cream dessert, the sweetness and slightly tangy flavor of strawberries blends perfectly inside of a milkshake.

Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups

According to a recent survey, Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups are the favorite candy of 38% of Americans. It’s no surprise, then, that this peanut butter and chocolate candy also goes great inside of a milkshake. You can make it with chocolate or vanilla ice cream, depending on whether you want a chocolate-heavy or a more peanut-butter focused treat.

Granny Smith Apples

Granny Smith apples work fantastically in a salad because they don’t overwhelm the rest of the ingredients with sweetness. Tart and sour, these apples pair well with strong flavors like grilled steak and goat cheese.

Strawberries

We love to slice up strawberries and add them to our salads, especially in the summertime. We can’t get enough of the sweet flavor that they add to salads with ingredients such as spinach and feta cheese.

Mandarin Oranges

Don’t be afraid to put small slices of mandarin oranges into Asian-inspired salads. Avocado, rice noodles, and grilled chicken are three salad options that pair great with these little sweet beauties.

Ingredients

For this recipe, you need:
500 ml milk
140 g caster sugar
60 g plain flour
100 ml lightly whipped fresh cream
4 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla essence
1 packet naturally thawed puff pastry
500 g strawberries
75 g icing sugar

Instructions

For the Mille Feuille filling, you should combine the sugar and egg yolks until you get a mixture with bubbles. Add the flour and whisk together.

Boil the milk together with the vanilla extract, then mix it with the egg and sugar one.

Place the pan again on the stove while whisking the mixture for 3 to 5 minutes. Let it cool down on the side and you can combine it with the whipped cream. Leave it in the fridge.

For the pastry set the oven to 375 F degrees.

Get the puff pastry and cut it in two. Cut each half into 4 strips. Poke holes with a fork on each one, then place them in the oven. Bake them for 10 to 15 minutes.

Take the baking sheet out of the oven and dust them with icing sugar. You should caramelize the top of each pastry.

Start layering the Mille Feuille by adding from the custard filling on the first pastry, add sliced strawberries, and pastry again. Continue doing this with the remaining ingredients.

The low-glycemic diet is based on eating foods that, despite containing sugars and carbohydrates, do not introduce these sugars into your bloodstream in a quick and drastic way.

This diet has particular benefits for people trying to lose weight, people with diabetes and people who are trying to lessen their risk of the disease.

Here are four suggestions for fruits that you can eat without experiencing immediate blood sugar spikes.

Apples

Apples don’t contain tons of fast-acting sugars, which makes them a good option for those looking to follow a low-glycemic diet. They’re portable and great as a mid-day snack.

Strawberries

Surprisingly, strawberries are another great option for low-glycemic diets. Although they’re a sweet treat, they have a surprisingly high fiber content, which slows down their action on blood sugar levels.

Kiwis

Kiwis are a good option too, but be careful and be sure to eat them with the skin on. Without skin, they creep into higher glycemic territory. The fiber content of the skin makes them slower-acting with sugars.

Pears

Finally, pears are one of the best low-glycemic fruits for people looking to follow an LG diet. They’re sweet, but their skin protects people from having a blood sugar spike when eating them.

Ingredients

The ingredients include:
125 ml strawberry puree
60 ml icing sugar
2 envelopes gelatin
250 ml sugar
60 ml cornstarch
125 ml light corn syrup

Instructions

Get a sieve and sift the cornstarch and sugar through it.

Combine the strawberry puree with the gelatin in a pan and leave it on the stone for 5 minutes. Include the sugar and wait for it to boil. Mix it to get an even consistency. Put it on the side, then transfer it to a bowl.

After five minutes, you can put the bowl on top of a saucepan. Add water to it, so that it reaches the bottom of the bowl.

Mix it with an electric mixer for 5 to 7 minutes, so that it reaches room temperature.

Get a large dish and line it with plastic wrap. Pour the strawberry marshmallow in the dish, put it in the fridge for at least 3 hours.

Take it out and cut the marshmallow in square pieces. Pour some of the icing sugar mixture in a plate and roll the cubes in it.

One of the earliest berries to be ready to eat in the season, strawberries are typically best for consumption in early spring, near the end of March and the beginning of April. This depends on the climate of every region, but in most Northern Hemisphere locations, it’s a pretty good rule to follow.

Strawberries are a delicious and versatile fruit that can be used in a variety of ways to add their gentle sweetness to many dishes.

And, of course, it goes without saying that strawberries are an absolutely sublime pleasure to munch on just by themselves!

One great way to use strawberries is as a garnish on a salad. Pairing sliced strawberries with tender greens, such as spinach, and with a savory dressing like balsamic vinaigrette, is a favorite salad that is both healthy and an intriguing combination of sweet and savory.

Strawberry rhubarb pie is another great idea for a dish that uses strawberries. And, best of yet, rhubarb is another fruit that reaches its peak at this time of the year.

Don’t let this fantastic opportunity to use strawberries in your kitchen pass!
