Strawberries have a brief freshness period, often declining within a week. Signs of decline include shriveling and brown spots, but if they remain firm and are not moldy, they can be revived using an ice water bath. To prepare strawberries, place them in ice water for about 20 minutes to enhance their color. For longer storage, washing strawberries with hot water or a vinegar bath can eliminate bacteria and debris, extending their shelf life and preventing mold growth.
