Ripeness Strawberries generally do not ripen after picking. Look for symmetrically shaped berries that have a nice sheen and brilliant, even color. Berry tips should not be too seedy and the \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\"shoulders\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\" should not be white. Look for strawberries that are clean and dry with fresh unwilted caps (calyx). Storage Always refrigerate berries immediately. Don‘t wash your berries until you are ready to use them. Temperatures between 34°F and 38°F are ideal. For best results, store your strawberries in the original clear clamshell container you purchased them in. Gently rinse berries with the green caps (calyx) still on, under cool water. After washing, remove green caps. For best flavor, allow strawberries to reach room temperature before serving. Under ideal conditions, strawberries should keep for 2 - 5 days in your refrigerator. For best results, consume your berries as soon after purchase as possible. Source: Driscoll‘s Strawberries
