It’s The Ripe Time to Get Creative With Strawberries
As we hit that prime-and-perfect part of strawberry season, shoppers can find themselves in a bit of a bind. Buy too few berries, and the whole lot of them could become casualties of on-the-way-home indulgence. Buy too many, and they can sit in the fridge, losing that summer luster as time ticks by. The last thing you want your customers to do is hesitate over buying that extra package, so guide them in the right direction by providing resources on how to use overripe strawberries.
Jams and jellies are an obvious way to use past-their-prime strawberries. But, there are also soups, pastries, dips, and salad dressings. Smoothies are great, but have you tried strawberry butter? Sharing the following recipes on your social media channels and in your newsletters will encourage your shoppers to think outside the (right out of the) box. And for customers who prefer to get their information and ideas the old-fashioned way (On paper! That you hold in your hands!), printed leaflets with recipes and tips on care and handling are the perfect addition to your produce section. Here are few to get you started…
