How Can I Store Berries

A lot of people think that fresh fruits and veggies are best, but they can spoil quickly if no stored properly. Here some tips on how to store fresh berries so they last long.

1. Choose the freshest berries that have no signs of mold. Soft spots, or discoloration. Avoid washing them until you’re ready to eat them, as excess water can cause them to rot faster.
2. Store the berries in the refrigerator in a shallow container line with paper towels. This will prevent them from getting cruse and allow air to circulate. You can also use the original packaging if it has ventilation holes.
3. You can also preserve the berries by making jam, jellies, sauce, or syrups. This will extend their shelf life and allow you to enjoy them throughout the year.
4. If you want to freeze the berries for long-term storage, wash them gently and pat them dry. Then spread them on a baking sheet in a single layer and freeze them until firm. Transfer them to a freezer bag or an airtight container and store them in the freezer for up 6 months. You should also label the containers or bag with the date of freezing, so you can keep track of how long the berries have been stored. Frozen berries are great for smoothies, desserts, but they may not have the same texture as fresh berries when thawed.
