Question

Hello Rabbi, I wanted to know how one should check strawberries for insects before eating them?

Answer

Hello, 

There are two options: 

Either peel off the entire top layer from each strawberry. A thin layer is sufficient, including all the small indentations where the seeds are. 

Or soak in water and soap, wash thoroughly while scrubbing the entire surface of the strawberry, and then grind the strawberry into a fine paste.
