Strawberries 250g

Strawberries 250g is a punnet of bright, fragrant berries — red to the core, sweet with just enough tartness and that unmistakable aroma that tells you the fruit is genuinely ripe. A punnet rarely lasts long.

Look for deeply coloured, firm berries with fresh green hulls and a strong, sweet fragrance — that smell is your best quality guide. Spring and summer bring the best eating, but good strawberries are available year-round. Refrigerate and eat within two days; don't wash until you're ready.

Eat fresh with cream or yoghurt, hull and fold into a pavlova or trifle, blend into a smoothie or coulis, or dip in dark chocolate for a simple dessert.
