33 Life Hacks to Solve Your Everyday Problems

Stemming Made Berry Easy

There is nothing more satisfying than the taste of a sweet, juicy strawberry! (Unless you happen to be allergic of course.) Besides being incredibly delicious, their versatility is unmatched. You can choose to eat them alone, plain or refrigerated and sprinkled with sugar. You can enjoy them inside of a loaf of warm, buttery, freshly baked strawberry banana bread. You can relish in their greatness over an ooey, gooey, fluffy strawberry cinnamon roll covered with a sticky cream cheese frosting to die for. You might decide to start your day with a taste of magic and dress up your pancakes or waffles with them. You might even be health-conscious and decide to include them in a refreshing salad.

No matter how you enjoy your strawberry, chances are you don’t enjoy stemming them. Pulling and tugging at the top of the strawberry rarely produces the desired result with one try unfortunately. Easy way to accomplish this feat and spend more time actually enjoying the strawberry? Simply stick a straw in the bottom! When it comes protruding out of the top, the calyx will be attached, leaving you with nothin’ but berry at the bottom!
