Maximizing Shelf Life: Learn How To Store Blueberries

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.

Choose Fresh Blueberries

Washing blueberries before storage introduces moisture, making them spoil faster. Rinse only before eating!

Don’t Wash Before Storing

Keep your blueberries in the crisper drawer at around 32°F (0°C) for optimal freshness.

Store in the Fridge

Store them in a breathable container lined with a paper towel to absorb excess moisture.

Use a Breathable Container

Airtight containers trap moisture, leading to mold. Use a ventilated box instead!

Avoid Airtight Containers

For longer storage, freeze blueberries on a tray first, then transfer to a sealed freezer bag.

Freezing for Long-Term Storage

Fridge: 10-14 days – Freezer: Up to 6 months – Room Temp: 1-2 days
