I ran across a “trick” for cleaning strawberries a while back. I didn’t think much of it because I prefer a knife… that is until Lulu wanted to help clean strawberries one day this summer and I figured we might as well try it out.

It’s rather simple… and great if you have little hands that want to help out. Simply insert a straw at the bottom tip of the strawberry and push up, popping the stem out of the strawberry.
