The other day when I was cutting the stems off strawberries, I noticed that I was wasting a lot of the strawberry. I was cutting too much of the fruit off, just to ensure that I got all of the core removed. Hence, a lot of waste.
My wheels got to turning, and I was thinking that strawberries need a special coring utensil just like apples have. A cylinder shaped tool that only takes out the core of the fruit.
And then, I had an A-Ha moment.
Enter today’s Quick Tip Friday.
At that moment, my eyes landed on a straw, and why not give it a try. My attempt turned out to be genius.
Simply take the straw and starting at the bottom of the strawberry, push it entirely through. removing the core.
Strawberries are a delicate fruit, so the straw easily pushes through, and the diameter of the straw is the perfect size to remove the core.
I’d like to think that I’m a genius, and that all my ideas are original. But when I went to share this idea on my social media, I found that many others had the same a-ha moment. At least I’m in good company!
Enjoy today’s Quick Tip Friday!
