Think of your fridge like a hotel for your food - you want to make sure each guest has its own clean room, with minimal distractions. For cut up strawberries, this means keeping them separate from pungent foods like onions and fish, which can transfer their smells and flavors. A simple way to do this is to use a glass or plastic container with a tight-fitting lid.
Another key factor in keeping your cut up strawberries fresh is to minimize their exposure to air. Oxygen can cause the strawberries to brown and become slimy, which is never appetizing. By using a container that limits air flow, you can help keep your strawberries fresh and delicious.
