They're organic, though. Add a comment. Active Oldest Votes. Improve this answer. GdD GdD To recap: Wash them in cold water, by placing them gently in a bowl of ice cold water.
Wash them promptly before cooking, so that the excess moisture doesn't stick around and cause the berries to rot. Joshua K Joshua K 3 3 bronze badges. I've done that. Same result I was referring to.

I often also use an airtight container like a Tupperware because they hold the temperature stable inside better than without a cover and with 6 of us at my house, the fridge gets open and closed a lot. I hope this clears up your confusion. Does refrig reduce the flavor of berries — I know that corn on cob seems to loss flavor in frig. Room temperature food always tastes different than cold; however, if you do not refrigerate your berries will not last.
I put a baggie loosely over the tops and put on my kitchen window sill. And some, especially oregano, rosemary and tyme even sprout roots so you can transfer back to garden or pot in soil for fresh herbs anytime! Thank you for this! I have always washed my strawberries and stored them like this. AND, because I always have a glut of them from my garden! That said, it would be nice to have unfrozen ones to nibble on when they are fresh and in season. I will be trying this out this summer!
I hope you get to try this with all the delicious fresh summer berries. Ty so much for the idea on keeping berries fresh. What do you do for avocados? We never really have a problem with needing to make avocados last — they go pretty quickly. I am eating organic blueberries I put in the fridge untreated two months ago and they are in good shape. Before reading post about raspberries not being rinsed first, I used same procedure.
Is it ok if I dry them very thoroughly before storing? And if not, have u found a way to get them to last longer? Do you keep the stems in the berries? I like to have mine cleaned and cut so they are easy to grab it does it make a difference on shelf life if you use the vinegar wash?
This works really great. I take all my produce and just start adding it to the water. Let it sit a short time, then start removing to a colander, rinse and dry. I do this with bananas too, since I read to prevent fruit flies they need to be washed.
It washes off the larvae. My strawberries lasted well over a week, since I forgot I had them in the fridge. I also do this method for veggies. My cauliflower and broccoli last much longer. It is amazing how dirty the water gets! Another quick tip: I bought a pair of bath exfoliating gloves and they work great for scrubbing produce!
I seem to get fruit flies, especially with bananas. Any suggestions on how to keep fresh cut herbs, ie: mint and sage, fresh longer? I need some ideas on other storage methods for that too.
Method 2. Make the solution. The solution is made up of 3 parts water to every 1 part white vinegar. This prevents any mold forming on the berries which would render them inedible. The vinegar will not get rid of mold that is already on any berries so discard berries that are already moldy. Place the raspberries into the solution. Do not drop them in the solution as this may cause bruising.
Remove the berries and place into a salad spinner lined with paper towels. Ensure that this is done gently and in small batches. Use a soft utensil like a plastic serving spoon to avoid bruising.
Spin the berries gently. If any of it is left on the berries you will likely end up tasting the vinegar. Be gentle with this step but also thorough. If you are concerned about vinegar remaining on the berries then you do have the option of very gently rinsing the berries in water while in the salad spinner.
Remove berries from the salad spinner and place in container. Take your clean berries and place them into a bowl for serving, a bag for freezing or, if you are planning on keeping them in your fridge, put them on a paper towel lined dish on a single layer.

Everything you do with this guide should be done with great care as raspberries, like all berries, are a very delicate fruit. Once they are mishandled, they can lose much of their flavor and shape very quickly. Helpful 0 Not Helpful 1. In every situation it is, if possible, better to wash raspberries immediately before eating.
The excess moisture from washing can make the berry go mushy eventually. Submit a Tip All tip submissions are carefully reviewed before being published. Related wikiHows How to.
