Berry Good Care
- Only wash berries as needed and just before consuming or using.
- Rinse softly under cool water stream and gently blot dry.
- Maintain the cold chain and refrigerate them as soon as possible when you bring home.
- Keep your berries dry when storing. It can help to have a dry paper towel in the bottom of the storage container to absorb extra moisture.
- For best flavor, serve at room temperature.
- To freeze strawberries, slice calyx or green cap off and place cut side down on a wax or parchment paper lined baking sheet and freeze uncovered for about 6 hours. For other berries, freeze separately on baking sheet to avoid clumping. Transfer frozen berries to a freezer bag or container and store in the freezer to enjoy in months ahead.
