Strawberries are widely loved because they taste fresh and are easy to eat, because they don't need to be peeled. In addition to being eaten directly, the fruit is often made into juice and smoothies. Even so, strawberries are one of the fruits that tend to rot quickly. In fact, this fruit sometimes only lasts 1 or 2 days in the refrigerator.
Many people think that storing strawberries in the freezer can make them last longer, but that's not necessarily true. TikTok account owner @brinalutfiani shared a trick for storing strawberries in a post. In the video, she admitted that she never bought strawberries in large quantities.
So, after being bought in the market, strawberries are immediately washed with salt water, then consumed until finished. However, the owner of the TikTok account @brinalutfiani admitted that she had learned about storing strawberries directly from the trader. As a result, she is no longer worried that strawberries will rot again when stored.
He explained that this method of storing strawberries is effective in keeping them fresh for up to 5 days. To practice the trick, you need one simple tool.

Before storing, strawberries should be left to dry without washing at all. Strawberries can be washed later when the fruit is going to be consumed. Prepare a container to store strawberries, put a tissue on the bottom. Yup, this tissue is a simple tool to help strawberries not rot quickly.

After being given a tissue base, arrange the strawberries one by one in a parallel position. Now, before the strawberries are stacked, don't forget to add more tissue on top. "It must be lined with tissue, and each layer is also added with more tissue," said the owner of the TikTok account @brinalutfiani, quoted by BrilioFood on Friday (8/23). This tissue will keep the strawberries from moisture while they are stored. The place where strawberries are stored should not be damp, because moisture can trigger the growth of bacteria that cause fruit rot.

When the strawberries are finished being arranged, close the container and store them in the refrigerator chiller. Well, that's how to store strawberries so they stay fresh longer. "I've tried it, and the amazing thing is that it's still really fresh for 5 days," concluded the owner of the TikTok account @brinalutfiani.
