Splenda, Sugar…yuck! Haven't any of you heard of Stevia…a natural sweetener?? Made from a plant root..sold in Trader Joes, Whole Foods, or health food markets. I've actually seen commercials for a Stevia product now called Truvia…try it. I use it in my ice teas and if you drink coffee also. They look just like sugar packets..been carrying it in my purse for years. And strawberries grown organically taste WAY better.

My favorite way: sliced strawberries, some confectioners sugar, and cream or milk ! Yum!

I once read in a newspaper from New Hampshire to store them in a seal tight container layered in paper towels. I have berries sometimes for 8 days.. This really works..

I find my strawberries last longer if I DO wash them prior to storing. I dump them into a colander, inspect them and remove any that are beginning to spoil. After rising the berries and their container, I put them back into the fridge for up to a week. I don’t pick the greens off until I’m ready to eat them, though.

Hi Marilyn,
1 cup of whole strawberries (about 8 strawberries) contains 11 grams of carbs.

I’m with Richard. I’d like to know the number of carbs found in a strawberry. Thanks

I think that you should post all of the nutritional numbers, or at least the ones that most of us use/need. For example, because of my diabetes I count Carbs. Is it possible to add this? I now have to go find the Carb. count for a strawberry Smothie, what it will add to my dinner salad, and what about my straberry pie? I am looking forward to your response.

My family loves strawberry shortcake made with fresh berries and the bisquick shortcake biscuits. An easy and tasty recipe.

I like to eat a cup of frozen strawberries as a treat on a hot afternoon. I eat them frozen whole. Better than a popsickle
