Strawberries are a great dessert, a valuable source of vitamins, microelements and just a delicious berry. Unfortunately, this product is strictly seasonal, and you won't be able to pamper yourself with fresh strawberries in January. Unless it has neither taste nor smell - from the supermarket. The way out is to use frozen. When properly defrosted, it is slightly inferior to fresh.

Instructions
Step 1
Before buying, you must carefully read the information on the package with berries. It should indicate that in front of you is a quick-frozen product. Only when using this method, the berries retain up to 90% of the nutrients they contain.
Step 2
The best way to defrost strawberries is to keep them at room temperature for several hours. Of course, pre-packaging with berries should be opened and poured into dishes with high walls (for example, a food-grade plastic container).
Some housewives defrost fruits and berries under running hot water. After such processing, there will be practically no vitamins in the strawberries. The same goes for defrosting in the microwave.
Step 3
Accidentally thawed berries must be used urgently. They cannot be re-frozen. Incompletely thawed strawberries make great berry desserts. For example, chopping berries in a blender, pouring the berry mass into bowls and decorating with fresh mint leaves.
