Strawberry Fest is here! Nothing says spring quite like fresh strawberries and now is the time to indulge! Sweet, ripe strawberries are perfect out of hand, in salads and sides, or as a sweet addition to your favorite dessert.

Selecting Strawberries
Choose berries with a bright red color and fresh green cap (berries do not continue ripening after they are picked, so avoid white or unripe berries). Size does not affect sweetness. Instead, sweetness is determined by growing region, weather and degree of ripeness when picked.

Storing Strawberries
Do not rinse berries before storing. Store in a container or on a paper towel in the refrigerator for 3 - 4 days.

To freeze, spread whole or sliced strawberries on a cookie sheet and place in the freezer.  When frozen, transfer to a freezer bag and store for up to 12 months!
