Ok. Two things: 1) that’s not residue in the water, they’re called achenes and they are the true fruit of strawberries. 2) bacteria and more importantly fungus will grow back onto the surface of the fruit almost immediately because they’re in the air. The real reason to wash produce is to remove pesticides and any wax that are added to help preservation during transport
That’s what I was thinking for number 2. Also this is probably a stupid question but does it make a difference if you wash the fruit in tap water knowing there may be fluoride in it?
As a farmers market vendor do not wash your fruit until you are ready to consume them. I’ve worked for the farm for 6 years and the business has been going for 29. We tell our customers exactly not to wash their fruits until they’re ready to consume and they always tell us that we’ve helped them make their fruit last longer. Also a tip we tell them is to put them in a tuber ware container and place paper towels over the fruits to make them last slightly longer. So do with this information as you will
Raspberries definitely go bad faster if you wash them and store them. Don't rinse Raspberries until your ready to eat them. Save your vinegar and your time lol
Wife actually rinses them the same day she buys them - and then by the third day, she's already consumed them. So, yeah, this is probably for people who eat the stuff nearly right away.
You should do a side-by-side comparison of two packages of strawberries that you bought the same day one where you leave it in the fridge and one where you disinfect the fruit and see just how much longer it lasts and make a video out of it.
My mother was an avid gardener, we never washed anything until we were going to use or eat it. The one exception would be soaking greens in cold salted water to kill any possible worms or bugs on it. She always swore if made the fruit spoil faster if washed it first.
Don’t wash your berries until you are ready to eat them or cook with them. Washing the berries bruises them and any extra water on berries will cause them to spoil faster. Blueberries have their own built-in protection via a waxy outer coating called a bloom, and raspberries are extremely delicate and susceptible to mold and bacteria from too much moisture and from bruising. With strawberries keep those little, frilly green calyxes and stems on your fresh strawberries when storing in the refrigerator. Having the calyxes and stems intact will protect the interior of your berries and prolong their shelf life. All berries stay their freshest when dry and cold, and any added moisture will soften the strawberries and encourage mold growth. So instead of washing all of your berries right when you get home from the store, wash them as you plan to eat or prepare them.
Used to pick a ton of warm strawberries on sunny summer days & eat them straight from the plant as a child. Nothing tastes better, especially not refrigerated or frozen.
Blackberries can contain maggots however, I always rinse in salty water, Gooseberries, strawberries, raspberries straight out of the garden are delicious.
@@YorkshireBusGuy you should definitely be washing your fruit what, maybe this is extreme but washing your fruits, especially store bought is a necessity
Don't rinse until you intend on eating. No matter how much you try to dry them after a dunk, they will still be wet, especially the inside of raspberries. Wet berries will be ruined berries in no time at all.
I usually just wash them off with water and put them in a bowl in the fridge !! I’ve always done that , omg !!!!! I’m gonna get tape worms or something!!?

Blueberry farmer here. Nothing wrong with washing your berries but fresh berries will keep for 3 weeks easily. However by the time you get them they are probably 2 weeks old if bought out of the USA. The waxy haze you see on blueberries is there to protect them from the sun and drying out. The more of it you see on the fruit the less handled they were during processing. Most importantly for shelf life make sure they are dry before the fridge. And if freezing I would freeze them unwashed so they don’t stick together. Wash when you pull out of the freezer and it will help thaw them.

I use baking soda for all my berries. The trick is to make sure they’re completely dry and lined with paper towels before going back into the fridge.

It’s too keep fruit longer. My mom does it with our berries, extends their shelf life in the fridge a loooooong time. Otherwise the berries (especially the raspberries) grow mold really quickly.
Get a berry keeper. It's like a little plastic colander inside of a plastic dish with a lid on it. You rinse them off and dump them straight into those and it is like a miniature crisper and also gives the space for the water to get away from them

@@binaryvoid0101the point of the story was to say they didn’t wash their fruit either, like a large amount of comments are stating. Also saying they didn’t wash it and they were/are just fine.
Thanks first of all, I appreciate a level headed approach to all you do. I have found that if I just rinse the fruit and dry a little, it lasts pretty well. Sometimes the raspberries will get a little soggy but they are still tasty.
I didn't believe this, but i started doing it just to see if it would work, and it really does. After they are completely dry, i store them in the fridge in an airtight container, and they do last longer. I left half unwashed in the original container, and the washed ones lasted longer.
I put my berries right away in a jar without washing and close with a lid. I had wild blueberries last 3 months (not on purposes, but it was a nice surprise). Wash them when you need to use them. I discovered this last year and still can't believe how magic this technique is.
Wash berries just before you eat them. They last longer if dry, and mold less. Do not cover them in the fridge or they will mold. Place in fridge where air moves freely over them. The hard plastic boxes they come in keep them fresh longest prior to washing. Strawberries are often the first to go bad (bigger, denser box).
@@JohnSmith-zs1bf you might be able to dry the strawberries and blueberries but the raspberries have the cavity and are bumpy, they hold the water no matter what. They will be mush in days. Wash as you need them
I always wash my berries in the dishwasher and adding a few drops of mercury to them is an absolute pro tip. The berries will stay fresh much longer than you think, or breathe.
I do. Sometimes I'm too greedy and buy too much fresh stuff, including berries and eat them in the wrong order. Curse of living alone, there's only one mouth to consume shit.
I have rinsed my fruit and berries with vinegar or baking soda. It does seem to help them last longer. But I put them in a container after rinse and throw a paper towel in with them and close the lid n put in frig. As kids, we picked wild berries off the bush. No rinse, no hand washing, and we never got sick😊
yeah but the bush wasn't treated with poisons to make more money and hurt people likely , God is good , the rulers of this world serve the devil , which , most still have a hard time to accept and believe this even though its literally , and I mean literally , right in your face pretty much everywhere you look and listen now
I do this every time now and the fruit lasts longer . I don't care why, it works beautifully. I also wash the containers the same way , dry and put a paper towel in container then put the dried berries in them.

And if you drink cloves tea make sure to strain in cloth before drinking because the do make the cinnamon with rat hairs in it. If you don't believe me boil some cloves n even cinnamon sticks strain it and see how many eat hairs you find in it
It’s too keep fruit longer. My mom does it with our berries, extends their shelf life in the fridge a loooooong time. Otherwise the berries (especially the raspberries) grow mold really quickly.
@@seanbelingheri6994the berries are for eating not making your fridge look pretty. Eat them before they have a chance to get mouldy
theres no way you can rinse ghe taste of vinegar off fruit-- this is gross
Crazy that we were never able to eat berries safely before this
Now I carry a bottle of vinegar with me when go to the forest. Just have to make sure it doesn’t spill in my pocket.
This isn’t just for safety, this extends the shelf life of your berries
@@sergeikorotkov😂
I've always used food grade hydrogen peroxide.
Shelflife
I appreciate all the info and now i must investigate soley out of curiosity lol
If I wanted vinegar on my fruit I’d toss them into a salad.
Bro had the immune system of a toddler
exactly what i was thinking - What happens when you sterilize everything you eat. lol
Those people who pick those berries never wash their hands after using the toilet
You can hear it in the voice
He also disinfected to extend its life in the fridge
And brains of an américain
My immune system is unlike any other when you grew up with unwashed fruit
feel you , build like a tank
I always just either immediately make smoothies from fresh bought berries or freeze them. Never have treated them in anyway before using them.
Get a berry keeper. It's like a little plastic colander inside of a plastic dish with a lid on it. You rinse them off and dump them straight into those and it is like a miniature crisper and also gives the space for the water to get away from them
Yes! Dollar Tree has them, just bought them yesterday. Now I have to get fruit Lol
@@user-hv4hb6br6y I bought mine from fresh thyme farmers market and Whole Foods so I'm sure I paid quite a bit more...... I got a check and see what they have at the Dollar Tree in comparison. I've had mine for years and they're like new and I repurchased them for gifts for other people on more than one occasion
@@user-hv4hb6br6y I thought I responded to this, I'll have to go to Dollar Tree and see what they have! I got some kind of expensive ones that have lasted for years and still look relatively new from Fresh Thyme Farmers Market. I have a purple and a green one and I've also seen them at Whole Foods. I have repurchased the identical ones several times to give as gifts because people have come over and loved mine when we're having salads or something and I bring out the berries that I had prepared
This is the sort of thing you do to pass the time when you have a finance job and don't have to work for a living.
😂
Dude, my berries dont even make it 2 days. I devour them otw home from store.
I was gonna say mine don't make it home
So u eat them unwashed? 😮
You don’t rinse them?! You’re eating pesticides lol
Fresh strawberries rarely make it home for me as well.
@@Jackdman25 LOL. I've done it for my whole fucking life. I'm 50 years old and perfectly healthy. Freaking ridiculous.
You may have extended the shelf life but you killed the microbes. SMH. We need those microbes.
I bookmarked this for our "Dumbest produce clip of the year" contest at Giant Corporate. Never, ever, ever do this.
Best Tip: don’t buy more than you need just because they are on sale.
You can freeze fruit and when defrosted have with breakfast cereal, yogurt or bake with them.
This is an awful tip...
But.... 😢😢
Ima guy that never put fruit in fridge or freezer call me old fashion whateva. There a plenty of variety of fresh ones with great deals if you have your priorities straight
Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha
As a child, grandpa and I walked through the garden and he would pull a radish then shake it against his overalls then hand it to me...yummy!
He and I would walk through the veggies and berries and my little tummy would be full by the time we were done!❤❤❤
What was the point of that story?
@@binaryvoid0101the point of the story was to say they didn’t wash their fruit either, like a large amount of comments are stating. Also saying they didn’t wash it and they were/are just fine.
I never wash my berries and I'm still alive.
Yes. True
@@binaryvoid0101 grandpa made a delicious fruit child mince pie at the end.
Thanks first of all, I appreciate a level headed approach to all you do. I have found that if I just rinse the fruit and dry a little, it lasts pretty well. Sometimes the raspberries will get a little soggy but they are still tasty.
I didn't believe this, but i started doing it just to see if it would work, and it really does. After they are completely dry, i store them in the fridge in an airtight container, and they do last longer. I left half unwashed in the original container, and the washed ones lasted longer.
What doesn’t kill you makes you stronger.
Yeah in the meantime you might turn a bit more f3man1ne or even have a s3xual orientation change 😏 😉
I’ve made it to my 40s without washing fruit before I eat it 🤷♂️
You're a rebel
@@mikeluther60 And?
Or fatter that what my mom always said and now I am a senior
You don't need to worry about this unless it takes you a week to eat 2oz of berries. Just wash it with water, you'll be fine 👍
I just eat them out the box😬 never been sick yet
@@gusmacdon Good man lol
Right haha don’t buy them and not eat them
exactly, dude is wasting an entire bottle of vinagar for no reason

Bobby learned this from the hood lol
I rinse fruit off right before I eat it. Raspberries get a gentler rinse.

I put my berries right away in a jar without washing and close with a lid. I had wild blueberries last 3 months (not on purposes, but it was a nice surprise). Wash them when you need to use them. I discovered this last year and still can't believe how magic this technique is.
The fact that he called it “residue” confirms that he doesn’t know what he’s doing. He’s doing something, but has no clue what it is.
Wash berries just before you eat them. They last longer if dry, and mold less. Do not cover them in the fridge or they will mold. Place in fridge where air moves freely over them. The hard plastic boxes they come in keep them fresh longest prior to washing. Strawberries are often the first to go bad (bigger, denser box).
he literally dried them
And he used vinegar. Not water
@@raylenenielsen5943used a quarter cup of vinegar and cold water. Then rinsed with water again.
@@JohnSmith-zs1bf you might be able to dry the strawberries and blueberries but the raspberries have the cavity and are bumpy, they hold the water no matter what. They will be mush in days. Wash as you need them
Thanks for the tip!
I boil my hand sanitizer, as well.
Lol
Hahaha 😎😂
HAHAHA 😅
The human race already survived without this trick.
I just clean the strawberries on my shirt. Still alive.
I always wash my berries in the dishwasher and adding a few drops of mercury to them is an absolute pro tip. The berries will stay fresh much longer than you think, or breathe.
You should just start off with straight bleach 😂
😂😂😂
😂😂
i use arcenic because it kills them slowly :_)
@@AllAboutCZcamsrs13 of course you mean the bacteria
I've never ever had berries go bad in my kitchen. They are consumed too quickly.
I do. Sometimes I'm too greedy and buy too much fresh stuff, including berries and eat them in the wrong order. Curse of living alone, there's only one mouth to consume shit.
@@birbdad1842my toddler will finish all of them in a day
Either you surely don't have ADHD or just have enough people in you house eating them lol
@@birbdad1842 you consume shit?
Sounds like he finnish the weekend with cleaning some fresh cucumber and aubergines with that throat if you know what i mean
Clean, yes, but the best part is they last longer. Less wasted food.
I have rinsed my fruit and berries with vinegar or baking soda. It does seem to help them last longer. But I put them in a container after rinse and throw a paper towel in with them and close the lid n put in frig. As kids, we picked wild berries off the bush. No rinse, no hand washing, and we never got sick😊
Well you didn't get sick because it wasn't mass produced and sprayed with pesticides
That grocery store “germs” hit different
the wild fruit was not sprayed with pesticides, thats why
So did I as a kid, but there were no pesticides sprayed on them!
yeah but the bush wasn't treated with poisons to make more money and hurt people likely , God is good , the rulers of this world serve the devil , which , most still have a hard time to accept and believe this even though its literally , and I mean literally , right in your face pretty much everywhere you look and listen now
Oh, yes, that’s what I really want. Vinegar flavour, raspberries
Water?
@Cathy J and…re-rinse
@Cathy J just use water of course you would taste the vinegar, it’s ridiculous !
😂😂
Thats why I use Vodka to clean them instead.
I do this every time now and the fruit lasts longer . I don't care why, it works beautifully. I also wash the containers the same way , dry and put a paper towel in container then put the dried berries in them.
And now you’ve got pickled strawberries!🎉
I’m so weak!! My dumb ass was looking at his shirt saying Tacos. I’m thinking he was getting ready to make them 😂😂😂..
