Storage
Woodland strawberries are very fragile. Place them on a plate, this will prevent bruising. Make sure the wild strawberries do not get damp. If necessary, put them on kitchen paper. Do not cover the wild strawberries and store them with the crown, they will keep longer.

Freezing: let the strawberries freeze, spread out on a plate. Then pack them in a container and put them back in the freezer.

How do I know if woodland strawberries are no longer good? The wild strawberry is then mouldy or limp. You can quickly recognise decay by looking, smelling or tasting.

It is best to take strawberries out of the fridge an hour in advance. This is the best way to get the best flavour.

Cleaning wild strawberries

Carefully wash the wild strawberries in a bowl under running water. This is because they quickly become waterlogged. Do not hold the wild strawberries directly under the running tap, as this may bruise them.

Only remove the crowns after washing.
