Frequently Asked Questions
Should I buy organic strawberries?
Strawberries consistently rank high on pesticide residue lists. If pesticide exposure concerns you, organic is a good choice. Otherwise, washing thoroughly under running water removes most surface residues.
Are frozen strawberries as nutritious as fresh?
Yes! Frozen strawberries are typically frozen at peak ripeness and retain most nutrients. They may have slightly less vitamin C due to processing but remain highly nutritious. They're perfect for smoothies and cooking.
Why do strawberries go bad so quickly?
Strawberries have thin skins and high moisture content, making them prone to mold. To extend freshness: don't wash until ready to eat, store in single layers, remove any moldy berries immediately, and keep refrigerated.
