Tips on washing strawberries:

Always wash strawberries well because they are one of the top ten pesticide-ridden fruits. But don't soak them as they easily absorb water, which will dilute their sweetness and flavor.
To wash, remove the leaves without breaking into the strawberries. Then put them in a colander or sieve; run water over them; take them in your hands and gently rub each one with your fingers to make sure you clean it.
After the strawberries are completely washed, place them on a paper towel and dry them off or let them air dry for several minutes.
Now, hull them and start preparing them for the recipe.
