Freezing Strawberries for Year-Round Freshness

Gently rinse strawberries under cold water. Pat completely dry — moisture promotes ice crystals and freezer burn.

Hull
Remove the green stems and leaves using a paring knife or strawberry huller.

Flash Freeze
Place strawberries in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Freeze for 2–4 hours until solid.

Store in Containers
Transfer frozen strawberries to airtight freezer bags or containers. Remove as much air as possible to prevent freezer burn. Label with the date.

Use Anytime
Frozen strawberries can be used directly in smoothies, desserts, sauces, or thawed for baking. They retain their flavor and nutritional value for up to 12 months.

💡 Tip: For smaller pieces, slice strawberries before freezing; for whole berries, keep them intact to preserve texture.

This method ensures your strawberries stay fresh-tasting and ready to use all year!
