STRAWBERRY (PREORDER)

8 x 1lb clamshell Strawberry aka "Garden Strawberry", "Cao-Mei", "Shi-Duo-Pi-Li", "草莓", "士多啤梨" Strawberry is a red berry with a round top extending to a pointed tip, like a heart. There are hundreds of tiny yellow seeds on the surface of the strawberry. There is also a newer variety with white to pale pink skin and tiny red seeds. Strawberry tastes sweet and juicy with a firm texture. Strawberry can be eaten fresh, jam, and dry. It is a popular ingredient with endless possibilities. Strawberry is available year-round. The Juice: Do not spray strawberries before or during storage which may lead to deterioration. Only rinsed until just before use. Do not remove green caps before rinsing to preserve flavor and prevent internal breakdown.  Handling Tip Selection Strawberry has a uniform color depending on the variety and fresh green leaves. Choose strawberry with green caps still attached. Strawberry is dry, firm, and plump with no signs of bruises or mold. Storage Strawberry should be stored at 32°F (0°C) with a relative humidity of ninety to ninety-five percent and no mist. The typical shelf life is no more than seven days. Long-term storage may lead to loss of color, loss of flavor, and shriveling. Strawberry is not sensitive to ethylene, a naturally occurring gas that regulates ripening. Strawberry produces a very low level of ethylene. Strawberry is not sensitive to chilling injury and should be stored as cold as possible without freezing.
