So, I of course learned the right way to hull a strawberry after 2 decades of doing it wrong.  Because why would I ever do things the easy way the 1st time?!

There’s a “right” way to hull a strawberry?

Not necessarily.  Meaning that you won’t get into any type of trouble for not hulling a strawberry the way I’m about to show you.  It just means that this way will save you much pain under your fingernail (if you were also using this method), and save you a lot of time.

Hold the strawberry in one hand.  Then simply take a small spoon, dessert spoon, and slide it under the stem of the strawberry, while using the thumb of your other hand to push the stem, as it loosens, onto the spoon.  And you’re done!
