"Everyone loves strawberries, and we mean everyone. Over 200 pests, including mites, slugs, moths, chafers, and aphids among others, love munching on this delicious berry. The high amount of pests loving strawberries has led to the heavy-handed use of pesticides, and the strawberry takes the lead in the <a href='https://www.ewg.org/foodnews/dirty-dozen.php'>Dirty Dozen list</a>.<br><br>\n\nDon't let this bring you down and stop you from enjoying this delicious berry. Consider buying organic whenever possible or asking your local farmer how they fight to keep the bugs at bay. To remove some of the pesticide residue, bacteria or mold, you can try washing the strawberries in a vinegar solution. Not only does this clean the berries, but this trick will help to keep the berries fresh for longer. Just mix a 1:3 ratio of white vinegar to water and rinse the strawberries in the solution. Make sure to dry the berries thoroughly before storing them in the fridge.
