它是什么？

Strawberries, which are a memeber of the rose family, are not technically a fruit. These bright red, cone-shape berries are sweet, juicy, and aromatic when ripe. Though strawberries are available at supermarkets year-round, they are in season in late spring and early summer.

How to choose:

当您购买浆果时，请小心选择它们。寻找那些亮红色的红色到深猩红色的，肩膀上没有白色或绿色。它们应该是丰满，坚定的，并且很芳香。他们的绿帽应该看起来很健康。较小的浆果似乎具有最好的风味。巨大的虽然震惊，但通常是羊毛和平淡的。当您发现季节本地浆果时，请不要通过它们；它们是将牙齿沉入夏天甜度的绝佳机会。

How to prep:

不要洗浆果，直到您准备好使用它们，然后做得非常温和，并使用尽可能少的水。在洗涤并干燥后，不要刺浆果。

How to hull strawberries:Don’t mar the strawberries’ beauty by cutting straight across their tops to remove the green cap. If you have a strawberry huller, use it. If not, use a sharp paring knife and point it down under the cap at an angle to slice out a cone-shaped piece of the strawberry under the cap.

How to store:

Strawberries are delicate, so handle them as little as possible to prevent bruising. When you bring them home, carefully sort out any that are mushy, moldy, or discolored. One bad berry can spoil the whole bowl. Spread the berries in a single layer on a baking sheet or shallow baking dish lined with paper towels. Stored in the refrigerator, they can keep for up to three days, but the sooner you eat them, the better.
