Rotting strawberries?

Lauren is half correct. Berries actually do need to be refridgerated, and you do not wash them until it is time to use them. You also want to seal them in a container that keeps moisture out (a tupperware is fine) I get a flat of berries every week from a local grower and they always last for about a week- and that is after years of mushy moldy berries 2 days after buying them washing them, leaving them on the counter...you name it! Enjoy!

Not really except keep them refridgerated. You shoudl really use them within a couple of days considering they have probably spent a couple of days on a truck, then a day or two in a warehouse. Not to mention sitting in your store's cooler/sales floor. If you have a lot I suggest mashing them up and making strawberry shortcake.

Grrrr.....I have to sort through those things every day. I hate strawberry season! LOL

Don't wash them before you put them in the fridge. And they do need to be refrigerated or they will mold faster.

With fresh berries you have to eat them within a day or two. They don't keep much longer than that.

Buy Green Bags. If you don't know what they are, commercials of them are on in the U.S., I have never tried them though. I've had strawberries go bad and get all moldy like 3 days after they got brought home.

Rinse them in cold water and remove the stem/green top. Dry well, put them on a cookie sheet, and freeze them. Once they are frozen, transfer to a freezer bag, and put them back in the freezer. Defrost as needed.

I think they need to be cool and dry. Do not put them in the fridge. Also, make sure you do not wash them ahead of time.

put them in the refrigerator
