Things I Learned on the Internet: Cleaning Berries

I LOVE Pinterest. It's a great past time. It's also very informative in the way of recipes, crafts, and home remedies. An AMAZING trick I learned is how to effectively clean berries and make them last longer. I buy strawberries pretty much at every grocery trip, and I always feel pressure to eat them quickly because it never fails, by mid-end week it seems they always start to mold. I HATE throwing food away, but what am I supposed to do with a moldy strawberry? It's also important for me to get my strawberries clean well because when I use them in smoothies I blend the whole thing, green tops and all. 
So what is this berry cleaning trick you ask? VINEGAR. For me, I used apple cider vinegar. When you get your berries home from the store make a mixture in a bowl of one part vinegar to ten parts water. Drop your berries in, swirl them around, rinse off in a strainer and store them in your fridge as you normally would. With this method I am going on TWO WEEKS of non-molding, great tasting strawberries. This method works because the vinegar kills mold spores and other bacteria on the surface of the fruit, which keeps them fresh longer.
