Fast, Neat and Easy: How to Remove a Strawberry's Stem 

Strawberry lovers hate to cut away any of the sweet delcious body of a fresh strawberry. So, if you are not already familar with the straw as a strawberry cutting tool, just take a look at the pictures below.

To save the fruit and achieve this stemless look, the pics below tell the story!

I ran across this idea on the web, and decided to give it a try in my kitchen! The pictures illustrate
"the Straw" technique for removing the strawberry's stem.

For my 1st try at this, I used a bowl of fresh organic strawberries shipped from California farms.

The inspiration for this post came from a status on Facebook from a friend who shared a pic and a recipe for Santa Claus Strawberries! Thanks, Judith! If you use this straw technique, you will retain a bit more strawberry to work with as you prepare this goodie for family and friends.

 

 

 

Putting a little spin on the straw.



Holding the strawberry frimly in one hand, insert a straw into the center
of the bottom of the strawberry.  Guide the straw to the center top, and the core and
stem will come out as one piece.
