Robbie Sigona’s Produce Tips: Strawberries
Looks for strawberries that have a full color and don’t possess a green shoulder.- The berries should be fresh with a nice green stem (the sepals of a flower collectively, forming the outer floral envelope that protects the developing flower bud) and shouldn’t be dry or brittle.
- They should have a healthy shine to them.
- Sweet berries are wonderfully fragrant; as you approach them in the store be aware of their smell.
