Hi, I heard that you can just pour salt over a bowl of strawberry’s with water in this video they say with viniger. Do you think that only using salt is ok?
Please ask your LOR!
does it matter if you see bugs or not when you inspect the strawberries in the beginning?
Remove any bugs you see – a toothpick is helpful for this.
costco sells Hydroponic strawberries that are not grown in the ground
how does that change the washing requirements
You’ll find all the information you’re looking for here 👉 https://www.kosher.com/video/hydroponic-quest/
In short, hydroponic does NOT equal bug-free.
When you said to inspect the strawberries under a strong light does that mean you need special equipment? Sun? Or just the regular house light?
Hi Lea, you’ll need a regular good light. No equipment needed.
meaning a book light , any sort of desk light , or a lamp!!
this is so informative and helpful thank you so much!!!!
Our pleasure!
There was a video about washing/cleaning strawberries about a month ago that was taken down…Is this the same one or was it changed?
This is the updated version!
So helpful!!
We’re glad you found it beneficial! Thank you.
