Although fresh strawberries are available year-round in many regions of the country, the peak of the season starts in April and lasts into September.
How to Choose and Store
Choose brightly colored plump berries that still have green stems attached. Don’t wash them until ready to use. Discard any moldy or damaged ones. Store strawberries in the refrigerator in layers separated by paper towels inside a plastic container or sealed bag.
