Fresh food tastes fantastic and is nutritious, but it spoils rapidly. Fresh berries develop mildew quicker than any other grocery store produce.
“You need to wash fruit as soon as you get it home.” “Put the strawberries in a big bowl of cool water, add some distilled white vinegar, and let them soak.”
Swish the strawberries for under a minute, discarding the filthy water, then drying them in a single layer. Put them in a clean container after drying. “They’ll last MUCH longer this way.”
Protecting berries and other fresh fruit from mold saves money since you can eat everything you purchase and discard away less.

Soaking strawberries with scrapes or bruises in vinegar makes them taste like vinegar. If you do this often, use food-grade citric acid and dilute the powder with water.
