Actually, this tip more fun than anything else. That it also saves some time is a bonus. We love fruit at our home. Unfortunately, too much raw fruit, especially berries, doesn’t go down well with my daughter so we have to ration and rotate the amount she consumes. You would think I’m offering her candy by how she becomes excited each time I give her cherries and strawberries.

Anyway, here’s a tip how you can remove the strawberry leaves and stalk with finesse.

Push one end of the straw up the bottom of the berry to the top where the leaves are, and hey presto! You get a beautiful and ready to serve strawberry without the mess and stalk. With a nice hollow middle, you may even want to stuff the berry with well, something! Maybe a picture will help!

I spend a lot of time taking the leaves and stems out of strawberries for my little family. I will definitely try this tomorrow. Do you have any ideas about pitting cherries?


Hi Victoria,
Hope you had fun hullling the strawberriesI Cherries. I love those yummy orbs! Wish I had a good idea how to pit them too!
