Will strawberries ripen any further once they are picked?

Asked by Jeruba (55829points) June 30th, 2011

If tomatoes are picked a little green, they’ll ripen a bit more if I set them on the windowsill.

How about strawberries? It’s very disappointing to buy a basket of berries that look nice and red, only to find them white and hard on the inside. Is it too late? If I leave them out for a bit, will they get any better or just spoil?
