Keep your blueberries fresh for longer with these simple storage tips!
Pick firm, deep-colored blueberries with a white powdery coating (bloom) for the best shelf life.
Washing blueberries before storage introduces moisture, making them spoil faster. Rinse only before eating!
Keep your blueberries in the crisper drawer at around 32°F (0°C) for optimal freshness.
Store them in a breathable container lined with a paper towel to absorb excess moisture.
Airtight containers trap moisture, leading to mold. Use a ventilated box instead!
For longer storage, freeze blueberries on a tray first, then transfer to a sealed freezer bag.
– Fridge: 10-14 days – Freezer: Up to 6 months – Room Temp: 1-2 days
Toss blueberries in lemon juice before refrigerating to keep them fresh longer!
