dont wash strawberries until you are ready to eat them.

I started washing my strawberries with a little bit of vinegar, then storing them in a new container in the fridge. It's helped a lot

Yes, this is the solution

Actually it sounds more like a mixture to me

¿Por que no los dos?

Haven't tried the vinegar yet but I store them in an air tight container and throw a bit of paper towel in there for good measure. Lasts at least a week.

wash...strawberries...

I've never heard anyone doing that

You should absolutely wash everything you intend to put in your body. Not only are fruits and vegetables covered with things like pesticides, even when they are totally organic, they were probably fertilized with nitrates which are bad to ingest (and organic pesticides are a thing and not good for humans). And even if that isn't the case, they grow those things outside like on the ground. There is a reasonable chance at least one animal has pooped or peed on them.

I also noticed that, especially with bananas, when I started washing them as soon as I got home I didn't get any gnats, because gnats will absolutely lay their eggs on the outside of fruits even at the store.

What can I say, I've literally never in my life heard anyone doing that or even recommending it. People just eat the strawberries fresh after buying it from from the berry stand
