A mum has shared a simple\u00a0storage trick that allegedly keeps strawberries fresh for weeks, helping households curb their food waste as they enter the New Year.<\/p>\n
Even when efforts are made to buy the freshest produce on the shelves, it\u2019s not uncommon for households to discard food sooner than they\u2019d like.<\/p>\n
One of the downfalls of purchasing berries in bulk is the speed at which they perish, meaning they often go bad before anyone\u2019s had a chance to eat them.<\/p>\n
Fortunately, one woman claims to have found a method to keep strawberries fresh for longer, helping them last up to two weeks. The money-saving tip is easy to implement, according to @tinytonics, who carried out a demonstration on TikTok.<\/p>\n
Surprised that she hadn\u2019t heard of the trick before, the savvy shopper said:\u201d Who was going to tell me that if you store strawberries in jars, you don\u2019t have to sacrifice half of them to strawberry gods?\u201d<\/p>\n

You don\u2019t have to throw half of them away. I wasted so many strawberries because no one told me.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cNobody told me,\u201d commented one viewer. \u201cCurrently week-old strawberries straight from my glass jar, so so fresh still. I learnt from this app.\u201d<\/p>\n Others volunteered an alternative solution, suggesting: \u201cJust rinse them in vinegar and water solution and they last more than two weeks.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Another person echoed this advice, writing: \u201cBowl of water, glug of vinegar. Soak for 10 min, rinse the berries, air fry on a dish towel. THEN jar them!\u201d<\/p>\n The key to understanding why strawberries last longer in jars lies in the interaction between fruit, air and humidity.<\/p>\n Excessive exposure to air increases the rate of the spoiling process, which the glass jars prevent by limiting exposure to aid.<\/p>\n The isolated environment of glass jars thereby creates a micro-environment that reduces oxygen levels and increases carbon dioxide.<\/p>\n Those who try their hand at the hack are advised to keep an eye on their berries to ensure they don\u2019t start fermenting.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n[ad_2]\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" [ad_1] A mum has shared a simple\u00a0storage trick that allegedly keeps strawberries fresh for weeks, helping households curb their food waste as they enter the New Year.
