Follow @kalejunkie for more tips! HOW TO STORE, CLEAN, AND MAKE YOUR BERRIES LAST FOR WEEKS! This post is EVERYTHING you need to know on this topic, so be sure to save it.⁣
⁣
If you are going to eat your berries within a few days…⁣
1. Do not wash them before storing—moisture is the enemy. ⁣
2. First, pick through the container and remove any that look moldy or too soft. Those will make the others in the container go bad quickly too, because…moisture.⁣
3. Place a paper towel on top, close, and place container in the fridge. You can use the same container the berries came in or transfer to a glass container—personal preference. ⁣
⁣
How to wash your berries…⁣
1. Add berries to a bowl with a few teaspoons of salt and cold water. ⁣
3. Let sit for 5 minutes. ⁣
4. Rinse and enjoy. No fancy fruit/veggie wash needed.⁣
⁣
If you don’t plan on eating your berries within a few days…you want them to last a week, or even TWO weeks!⁣
1. Add berries to a bowl, along with 1 cup vinegar and 3 cups water (ratio is 1:3).⁣
2. Let sit for 10 minutes, then rinse.⁣
3. Dry berries well—this is so important⁣
4. Add to a container along with paper towel to keep the moisture out. Cover and store. That’s it.⁣
**No, they do not taste like vinegar. And also, this method works for ALL berries. Just be sure they aren’t too ripe to begin with (sometimes raspberries are too soft to begin with). Eat those instead :)⁣
