To enjoy these strawberries, gently rinse them under cool water before consuming. They can be eaten whole, sliced, or hulled.

They also add a sweet and slightly tart note to salads, especially those with a balsamic dressing. Their natural sweetness makes them a delightful addition to any meal.

How to keep the rest
To keep the remaining strawberries fresh, store them unwashed in their original packaging or a breathable container in the refrigerator. Avoid washing them until just before you are ready to use them, as moisture can accelerate spoilage. Check for any overripe or moldy berries and remove them to prevent them from affecting the rest.
