As the strawberry season reaches its prime, offering the fruit at its best flavor and most affordable prices, their delicate nature requires special care. Renowned chef Joseba Arguiñano has shared valuable advice with his audience on how to keep these seasonal delights fresh for longer.
Arguiñano's first tip emphasizes avoiding placing other items on top of strawberries during grocery shopping. Upon arriving home, it's crucial not to wash them or remove their stems; these actions should be reserved for just before consumption. He also advises promptly discarding any damaged or moldy strawberries to prevent spoilage of the rest.
“"How to store them, when to wash them, or how to avoid humidity makes the difference for them to last perfectly several days longer. With these details, I hope they last you longer and you enjoy the seasonal fruit."
Joseba Arguiñano, born in Zarautz, is a prominent figure in Basque gastronomy. Son of Karlos Arguiñano, he has carved out his own culinary path, gaining popularity with his ETB1 show, 'Joseba Arguiñano Sukalerrian'. His style is distinguished by its freshness, creativity, use of local seasonal products, and meticulous presentation, particularly in his desserts.
