How to Pick Them:
  • Choose your berries carefully.
  • Strawberries do not ripen once they are picked. Whatever they look like on the vine is what they will look like in the basket.
  • Look for berries that are completely red. They will generally ripen from the top to bottom. If the bottom has a "white cap" choose another berry. Someone will get that one tomorrow!
  • Don't pull on the berry itself.Strawberries Bruise very easily. Instead, cradle the berry in the palm of your hand and pinch the stem with your thumb and forefinger.
  • Place (don't toss) the berries into whatever container you are using.
  • Don't overfill your containers.  The berries on the bottom don't like getting squished.
