Whoa. I wonder why. Do you know the science behind this?
I read on it years ago, but I think it helps kill the mold spores.
"It's not exactly that vinegar itself extends the life of berries. It's the fact that vinegar is so acidic that it kills or inhibits the growth of a lot of the bacteria and fungus, including mold, that may grow on berries, which makes the fruit last longer," explains Sean Brady Kenniff, EatingWell's senior digital food editor. (By the way, this same technique should work to clean just about any fruit, not just berries.)
Does the white vinegar ruin the taste?
The way I wash them is to place a colander in a bowl and fill with 50/50 lukewarm water and white vinegar.
Wash them off in that. Pull the colander out and rinse with cold water. Set aside to dry.
I did it a couple weeks ago after seeing this tip here. No after taste. They were fine for about 4 days but on day 5 every strawberry was covered in fuzz instead of just one or two.
As long as they don't soak in it, probably not. It sounds like you just give them a splash.
