Yes, I am very sure I am wrong and you are right. Despite a lifetime of shopping and eating and cooking extensively with a wide variety of produce. Even the freshest strawberries from local farms at peak season in June (coming up soon!) doesn't last eight days in the fridge without going moldy. Strawberries are intensively cultivated and most cheap berries are raised to have long shelf life by being effectively rubber, and if your strawberries are lasting that long after being sold to you, they were not ripe or high quality to start with. Of the berries, blueberries have the best shelf life but even if you avoid mold, they tend to shrivel after five or days. |
