Strawberry Nutritional Information and Handling

Picking and Storing Strawberries

  • Whether picking strawberries from our fields or buying ready picked from our farm market, be sure you’re picking berries that are firm and evenly coloured. 
  • When you bring your berries home remove any berries that look darker in colour or mushy – these should be eaten or preserved right away. 
  • Do not wash your berries, to keep them fresher longer it’s best to leave them unwashed. 
  • Line an airtight container with a paper towel at the bottom and place your berries loosely over top. Seal your contain and store in the fridge.
