grandma's secret
Theres more than one way to hull a strawberry, and Grandma devised this easy and safe way for her grandchildren to help with this task. She gave us plastic drinking straws and told us to push the straw from the bottom of the berry straight through and out the top. Like magic, both the core and hull were removed in one easy motion. We had fun, and Grandma got her berries hulled in record time.
