Do Strawberries Go in the Crisper?

It is best to utilize the crisper drawer of your refrigerator when storing. And, if the strawberries were purchased at the store in one of the plastic re-seal-able bins, be sure to close the lid when storing. Strawberries have a short shelf life.

Do you put strawberries in the crisper drawer?

Strawberries should be stored in the high humidity produce drawer – that's the vegetable drawer. I know, it's weird to keep fruit in a vegetable drawer. As strawberries get older (if they stick around long enough), they will either get moldy or they'll dry out and start to shrivel up.

Do strawberries go in high or low humidity drawer?

High Humidity – store leafy vegetables such as spinach, lettuce and thin-skinned fruits and vegetables like strawberries, raspberries, and grapes. Low Humidity – store thicker-skinned fruits and vegetables like onions, peppers, and tomatoes.
