How to Hull Strawberries: Two Ways
Before you use them, you’ll need to remove the strawberries’ leafy green stems. If you have a specialty strawberry hulling tool, you can use it! However, you don’t need fancy equipment to hull strawberries. These are two ways to do it, depending on the kitchen tools available to you:
- The first method is to use a sharp knife, like a paring knife, to cut a circle around the green top, removing as little of the red berry as possible.
- A second method is to use a sturdy drinking straw. Push the straw through the bottom of the strawberry, straight through to the top, so the green stem pops off.
