Got a pile of strawberries to prep but dreading the tedious task of removing those green tops? Here’s a game-changing kitchen hack that’ll revolutionize your berry preparation! Simply take a plastic straw (reusable straws work great too) and push it up through the bottom of the strawberry, straight through to the top.
Like magic, the stem and leaves pop right out, leaving you with a perfectly hulled strawberry. This method not only saves time but also wastes less fruit compared to using a knife. It’s particularly brilliant when preparing berries for smoothies, jams, or kids’ snacks.
Plus, it’s so simple that even little helpers can join in safely. For larger strawberries, use a wider straw, and for smaller ones, those standard drink straws work perfectly. Say goodbye to tedious knife work and hello to efficient berry prep!
