Step by step recipe

Stage 1

You should not soak strawberries in water

If you soak them, they will absorb water and lose all their flavour, especially if you have already removed the green top (the "hat"), like on this photo.

Stage 2 - 10 min.

With strawberries, it's absolutely essential to minimise contact with water, so do not wash, but brush them gently with a small brush, then remove the green part.

If they are really dirty, rinse quickly under cold water and drain immediately. Then remove the green part, but only afterwards.

Stage 3

You can then use them whole or in pieces.
