How to keep blueberries fresher for longer
Sort and discard
When you get home, sort through the blueberries and remove any damaged or overripe ones. This prevents the spread of spoilage.
Don’t wash them immediately!
Berries are porous and can absorb water, which accelerates spoilage. Only wash them right before you’re ready to use them. Keep the berries dry as moisture causes spoilage.
