STRAWBERRIES - Cleaning
Strawberries are frequently highly infested
with tiny insects although they may appear
to be insect-free. The trained eye can find
these on the outside of the berries and
particularly on and under the green cap.
1. Either:
1. Cut off the green leaf with about 1mm of
the fruit, or
2. Carefully twist off the green, Don’t
pull, otherwise you’ll make a hole into
which the tiny insects can fall.
2. Cut off any mushy parts as well as
deep folds.
3. If in the process of doing this you’ve
reached the cavity, cut the strawberry in
half and check internally for worms.
4. Rinse the strawberries in very soapy
water, gently rubbing under the green
leaves.
5. Rinse the soap off under running water. |
