| Refrigerator (dry) | 5–7 days |
| Freezer (proper storage) | 6+ months |
Bonus: Reviving Wilted Strawberries
If your berries look limp but aren’t moldy, soak them in ice water for 10–15 minutes. This can restore firmness and improve texture — perfect if you plan to serve them fresh.
Final Thoughts
Strawberries may be fragile, but with the right storage habits — especially avoiding excess moisture, allowing airflow, and using a vinegar rinse — you can enjoy them at their best for much longer.
