Frozen strawberries
Sweet and slightly tart, softer and juicier than fresh strawberries once thawed.
Lens analyzedFrozen strawberries are whole or sliced berries frozen shortly after picking, usually at their peak ripeness, without added sugar in the plain versions. They soften considerably once thawed, losing the firm bite of fresh berries, which makes them better suited to smoothies, baking, and sauces than eating out of hand. A bag keeps berries on hand well outside their short fresh season.
Where it comes from
Freezing fruit at the peak of harvest became commercially practical once flash-freezing technology developed in the mid-1900s, locking in flavor before the fruit could spoil. Strawberries, with their short growing season and fast spoilage, became one of the fruits that gained the most from a frozen, year-round alternative.
Buying it
Check the bag for large ice clumps, which can mean the berries thawed and refroze at some point, and look at whether it's whole, sliced, or a puree-style bag depending on your recipe.
Storing it
Keep the bag sealed flat in the freezer, pressing out excess air to limit ice crystals. They hold their flavor well for about a year if kept solidly frozen.
Keeps about 1 year in the freezer.
