What it is
These are whole, fresh strawberries. They are a popular fruit known for their bright red color and sweet, slightly tart flavor. Strawberries are typically enjoyed during their peak season, offering a burst of natural sweetness. They are picked at their prime to ensure the best taste and texture for consumers. This product focuses on delivering the fruit in its natural, unprocessed state.
How people cook with it
Whole strawberries are incredibly versatile in the kitchen. They can be used in a wide variety of sweet and savory dishes.
- Topping for yogurt and oatmeal

Before using, gently rinse the strawberries under cool water to remove any dirt. Pat them dry carefully. You can enjoy them whole, slice them, or hull them by removing the green leafy top. They are perfect for snacking on their own or incorporating into baked goods like pies and tarts. Their vibrant color and fresh taste make them a delightful addition to breakfast dishes, desserts, and even some salads. For a simple treat, dip them in melted chocolate.

How to keep the rest
To keep the remaining strawberries fresh, store them unwashed in their original container or a breathable carton in the refrigerator. Avoid washing them until just before you plan to use them, as excess moisture can lead to spoilage. Check them regularly and remove any that show signs of mold.
