Storage Guidelines

Commercial storage guidance for fresh strawberries. Storage life depends on initial quality, maturity, cultivar and handling; this is not a household shelf-life guarantee.

Decay, mainly gray mold, is the biggest cause of loss, so cool berries promptly, keep them near freezing, avoid injury and remove damaged fruit. Source: USDA Agriculture Handbook 66 (rev. 2016).
