Should I throw moldy Strawberries away?

Question

Should I throw away moldy Strawberries or just cut the bad parts off? They aren't super bad but I am a little paranoid when it comes to mold.

Answer 1

The visible mold that you can see is the fruiting body of the mold, that is the moldy-equivalent to the apple; much of the mold penetrates into its food substrate like the roots of a tree.

Since strawberries are fairly porous, the entire fruit is almost certainly full of the mold, even though it is not visible.

You should discard the strawberries.
