]]> We can all agree that strawberries taste best when you eat them fresh out of the bag. But this doesn’t mean you’ll go wrong if you decide to experiment a bit with this delicious and refreshing fruit. So let’s check out several other cool ways to eat strawberries and enjoy them on a hot summer day.

Sandwiches

If you are looking for healthier sandwich variations, strawberries are just the thing you need. They can be used as a standalone ingredient between two pieces of bread or as a substitute for jelly in PB&J sandwiches. Either way, you’ll get a delicious snack out of it.

Salads

It’s a common misconception that strawberries only work in fruit salads. They are also a great addition to a veggie salad, providing a sweet kick to cucumbers, radishes, and onions. And don’t get us started on that strawberries-vinegar mix.

Ice Cubes for Drinks

Ice cubes are great for chilling your drink fast, but they will also water it down quickly. To prevent this from happening, use frozen strawberries instead. Just clean the strawberries and put them in the freezer for several hours. After they’re iced, use them whenever you want to enjoy a cold drink without having to worry about spoiling the taste. As a bonus, there will be a cold strawberry waiting for you to eat after you finish the drink.

Chips

Dehydrating strawberry bits will give you a perfect low-calorie snack that you’ll love to have around. In case you don’t have a dehydrator, you can always thinly slice the strawberries and leave them in an oven at a low temperature for two hours. 

Stuffed Strawberries

If you really want to take your strawberry game to the next level, then stuffing them is a way to go. Just make small holes in your strawberries and then fill them with ice cream, whipped cream, cheesecake mix, or Nutella. You’ll thank us later.

]]> Have you ever been to your grocery store or local market and been faced with the time-old strawberry dilemma? While these red berries might always seem like a great option to pick up, it isn’t rare to be disappointed as they turn rotten and inedible after just a short amount of time.

So, how can you ensure that strawberries are ripe, fresh, and good for eating? Follow these instructions, and you won’t be met with this disappointment.

Bright Red Color

Strawberries should not be partially green (meaning that they aren’t ripe) or a dull red (meaning that they’re on the edge of spoiling). Look for bright red strawberries that look to be completely healthy and fresh when buying this fruit.

Fresh Green Leaves

One major clue of strawberries that are near the end of their useful life is a brown or yellow leaf. These leaves at the top of the berry should appear to be fresh, green, and healthy, meaning that the strawberry isn’t close to going bad.

No Signs of Mold

Here’s an important tip that everyone should follow when buying strawberries: look at the bottoms of the fruit! Often, strawberries look nice and red on top, but are concealing mold or fungus on the bottom of them where they’ve gotten wet. Be sure to look all over the berry for mold before buying.
