Why is strawberry such a difficult food to preserve?
The strawberry is an extremely delicate food, starting with its low firmness and fragile exterior. In fact, it is very common that when they are transported they end up turning into mush. Additionally, it is a fruit prone to mold formation and often harbors worms.
The reason this food is so difficult to store is because of its sensitivity to moisture . In addition to this, it is very sensitive to changes in temperature and poor storage in the refrigerator causes rapid oxidation and subsequent loss.

Some users have wondered if the trick can be used on other types of food, specifically on such delicate fruits as raspberries, cherries, and even grapes.
