Strawberries are delicious but notoriously perishable. Their tender, thin skins, high moisture and sugar content, and rapid respiration make them prone to bruising, microbial spoilage (especially mold such as Botrytis), and flavor loss.

In warm or humid conditions, they spoil very quickly. Minimizing handling, keeping them cool and dry, and using gentle storage methods are key. With the right techniques, you can keep strawberries fresh longer, reduce waste, and even recycle food waste into rich compost for your garden.

The tips below (drawn from USDA and university extension guidance) will help home cooks, gardeners, and sustainability advocates store strawberries safely and effectively.
