"This experiment is designed to find out what can make strawberries mold slower. People can use this to keep their strawberries longer. I dipped 4 strawberries in different liquids: vinegar, salt water, olive oil, water; and kept 1 strawberry plain and did nothing to it. I dried strawberries with clean towel and let strawberries sit on counter and observed. The results from best to worst: salt water, vinegar, olive oil, water, nothing. Washing strawberries in salt water will prevent it from molding the best. "
So interesting. I thought vinegar would work the best too.
We love strawberries too. I wonder if the salt water wash will change the flavor?
This its a most interesting project, especially so since everyone loves strawberries!
Cool! Does the salt water rinse make the strawberries taste salty?
Great job! I love it from Violet
