Place the berries in the container, lay a paper towel on top, add the lid and store in the fridge upside down. Makes changing the towel so much easier

So helpful. I work 7 day stretches, 10 hrs a day and before running out the door, I make a parfait or smoothie but my berries are moldy in 2-3 days! I wish I found this out earlier but from now on I'm doing this

I always rinse my grapes, and blueberries with water then add some baking soda to remove any coating on the outside then soak in vinegar water. To strawberries I only do a quick vinegar wash about a minute since they are like sponges then pat dry with paper towel.

Thank you Sam from icarly! That was very helpful!

I pull the leaves off before cleaning. Then before eating, I cut them in half, then cut a V out of the top of each half removing as little as possible of the red.

Great advice. I will do that right now to my blueberries. Thanks.

Strawberry tops and leaves are FULL of good stuff. I eat those bitter little salads :)

Hello Kristin, thank you so much for sharing!! I've been doing this with my strawberries and blueberries but never thought of using a towel to help dry them, I've been using paper towels and now I see I've been wasting paper towels!! Thank you again!!❤️

so excited that you are back!

Thank you!

Hi! So I’m confused if I’m planning to use the raspberries in the upcoming days how should I washed them? 😢 just with water ? And vinegar as well? Thank you for the tips !

hey there i like to tell you that you can keep it in fridge longer too strawberry and raspberry use the containers they come in empty them in a bowl put a paper towel on the bottom and add rice about 2 in then put them back in they will last longer if it works for a phone to get the moisture out it does work Toby

Great video, kind of late but still. Also that is a beautiful sink you have wow.

just glass container or can a plastic airtight be used?

Tq for sharing

can you use red wine vinegar instead of white vinegar

I need help. I freezed blueberries, blackberries, strawberries. Washed them all, got rid of excess water using paper towel. There were a couple blackberries slightly softened (crushed) but I am sure they were all fresh. Also sliced strawberries, there were some water resulted from slicing and I thought it was not an issue to concern. After I unfreeze the mix and ate, there was a huge throat burning sourness and the taste overall was very unpleasant. At what point I made the mistake and caused the sourness, looking for a pro to diagnose :) Thanks in advance.

Has anyone tried those desiccant drying packets that come with electronics and other items to absorb moisture?

Man It was only a couple days that I bought my blueberries , I was just eating them now and saw they had this cute fuzzy white stuff over some.... just to learn that's not no cute white fuzz -.-

Great advice. Take a shot every time there is “berries” :-).

What about baking soda? Should you combine baking soda and vinegar in the water? Soaking time 15 minutes?

I do this but try spinning them dry first then put them on the dish rag

Wether I store my strawberries in an air-tight container or one with openings, condensation still builds up and mold develops faster. Not sure what I'm doing wrong.

I use a lot more vinegar, close to 50-50 and I do not rinse them, I simply dry them on a single layer paper towels top and bottom and then store them and they don’t get moldy. I simply rinse them before eating to get any vinegar taste off.

Does the vinegar change the flavor of the fruits? Is it safe to consume ?

@LindaIvette

Жыл бұрын

It won’t change the taste of the fruits as long as you don’t add too much! It is safe to consume and they will also be rinsed with water after this! (:

Can I use lime water instead?

I brought shop brought frozen mixed berries that came in a zip lock bag but they look moldy??

Doing this while watching the video

What if mold gets on a few of them while in fridge?

Thank you for this helpful video, However if you place berries or any other fruit inside a sealed container you will stop its respiration process due to the lack of oxygen causing the fruit to decay probably even faster. This is one of the reason manufactures place them inside containers with little openings. Hope this help

I totally do love my salad spinner that I use on my greens... but I’m confused why you used it soaking the berries... I didn’t see you spin it? Did I miss something? I don’t see why a bowl wouldn’t do the same thing??

@LiveSimply

3 жыл бұрын

I find it easier than a bowl because you can put the berries in the basket portion, fill the spinner bowl with the basket and berries inside and then when you’re done soaking just pick up the basket to drain and rinse the rinse the berries under water. So it's not used for the drying aspect in this case, just for the easy to use nature of soaking and draining and rinsing.

How about vacuum packing with a food saver. A lot less work.

Make sure the white vinegar is not from petroleum

But the blueberries still have the wax film on them

Cutting the tops off may make them so bad faster 🤔
