okay real talk have you ever come home
0:03
with a gorgeous container of
0:04
strawberries only to have them turn into
0:07
sad mushy blobs 2 days later but I
0:10
finally cracked the code let me show you
0:12
how I keep my strawberries fresh for a
0:15
full 5 days using something fancy
0:17
sounding but super simple ball fruit
0:20
fresh produce protector yep no more
0:23
strawberry funerals in my kitchen all
0:25
right let's get into it
0:28
first I grab my essentials strawberries
0:31
obviously a glass mixing bowl paper
0:34
towels a spider strainer which I'm
0:36
obsessed with by the way it makes me
0:38
feel like a kitchen ninja and my magic
0:41
dust aka ball fruit fresh produce
0:44
protector oh and don't forget press and
0:46
seal wrap aka the cling wrap that
0:50
now I pour 2 cups of cold water into my
0:54
mixing bowl and stir in four teaspoon of
0:57
the protector powder i personally love
0:59
using my hand whisk here it's oddly
1:02
satisfying but hey if you don't have one
1:04
just grab a fork and channel your inner
1:07
culinary MacGyver it gets the job done
1:52
then in go the strawberries let them
1:55
have a little 5-minut spa moment i
1:57
imagine mine lounging around in tiny
2:00
cucumber eye masks while I get the next
2:03
step ready after they're soak I scoop
2:05
them out with my trusty spider strainer
2:08
and give them a nice rinse under cold
2:10
water got to get at that spa water off
2:13
you know oh and did I mention how much I
2:15
love that strainer i use it for
2:17
everything pasta blanching veggies
2:21
saving rogue Lego pieces from the sink
2:43
next I line a baking sheet with a few
2:45
layers of paper towels and gently lay
2:47
the strawberries down then I give them a
2:49
little pat dry with another towel no
2:52
berry squishing okay or honestly just
2:55
let them hang out and air dry because
2:57
that's what I usually do when I'm not in
3:06
once they're nice and dry I move them
3:08
into a clean glass bowl seal the top
3:11
with Press and Seal and pop it in the
3:13
fridge that's it done high five these
3:16
beauties will stay juicy and happy for a
3:19
solid 5 days honestly you'd think I had
3:22
a strawberry patch in my fridge they
3:24
look that fresh lately I've been totally
3:28
obsessed with my Bentco bowls seriously
3:31
where have they been all my life i use
3:34
them to prep all my fruits and veggies
3:36
for the week they're also amazing for
3:38
salads each one holds 6.75 cups which is
3:42
basically a personal salad bar if you're
3:45
