Since I happened to have some week old strawberries in my fridge, I decided to find out! Here’s what happened…

Here’s the idea…

After 20 minutes or so in an ice water bath, the strawberries plump back up and turn bright red again.

Here’s what they looked like before.

Strawberry Hack to Save Mushy Fruit

We tried the viral strawberry hack to see if it really works!

Since I happened to have some week old strawberries in my fridge, I decided to find out! Here’s what happened…

Here’s the idea…

When your strawberries start to look kind of mushy or bruised, you can soak them in a bowl of ice water for 20 minutes to revive them.

After 20 minutes or so in an ice water bath, the strawberries plump back up and turn bright red again.

Here’s what they looked like before.

Then I placed them in a bowl of water, with a handful of ice cubes. That’s it! Nothing else added to the bowl.

As you can see, the strawberry is now bright red again.

The bruises that were clearly visible in the first photo are hardly noticeable at all anymore.
