Yes...its suppossed to be really good.
 
I always tell my customers the strawberry's #1 enemy is moisture. Don't wash them until you are ready to use them. Or, wash them in our small colander (of the Colander & Bowl set) and store with it nested in the small bowl so that the moisture can continue to drip down into the bowl.

Also, 8 medium strawberries have more Vit C than a glass of orange juice.
 
OR... tell then that this year.. .just in time... we have an incredible salad/berry spinner that will get the moisture off them! :) Sorry... couldn't resist!

My favorite waitress informs me that she prefers cash.

The strawberries get crushed and make too much of a mess in her pocket.





















Sorry. I just can't help myself sometimes.
 
Hee-hee~KG, you kill me! :)

Okay, thanks everyone!!! KG you are too funny.
 
I was at a friends house this last weekend and she had this plastic egg thing. It was called the EGG. It keeps all your produce fresher longer. She pulled out some strawberries that were on DAY 9 in her frige, and they looked fresh as could be!
I havent searched online for this yet but believe she said she got it off of QVC.
