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)

🍓 Final Thoughts

Strawberries may be fragile, but with the right care, you can stretch their lifespan and enjoy their bright, juicy goodness without rushing. Whether you’re prepping for a picnic, a smoothie stash, or just daily snacking, these easy steps will keep your berries fresher, longer—saving you money and food waste.
