About a week ago I saw a demonstration video on Facebook about How to Hull Fresh Strawberries. What caught my attention was the first frame, you know the one that’s like a photo until you press the arrow? It was of a woman with a knife and a bunch of mutilated strawberries with their tops cut off.
I hate to say it but it looked like the way I hull strawberries too so I pushed the arrow. After the introduction which made fun of the woman and her knife and her poor sliced up strawberries they got to the good stuff.
According to the demonstration you can perfectly hull a strawberry with a straw! They made it look so easy.
Of course I had to run right our and buy a pint of strawberries to see if it really worked.
All you do is stick the straw up the bottom of the berry. When it pops through at the top it takes the hull with it. Very easy!
At first I didn’t hold the straw close enough to the tip and it bent but once I got the hang of it I can tell you it does work and it’s pretty quick.
But what I like most is that you get a beautiful strawberry that you can keep whole to decorate your plate or dessert.
