if you’re going to eat them within the week a quick rinse under the water should be fine.
if you need them to last longer, fill a large mixing bowl with water and vinegar. preferably a 15% mix with vinegar. let them sit and soak for about 10-30 minutes(dependant on how vinegary your wash is). pick the bad ones out qmd either eat or toss them. stir them around gently to agitate the dirt off them.
strain, and place on paper towels to dry. cover them! if you don’t cover them, bacteria and mold spores in the air will stick to them and only shorten your shelf life.
its best if you can refrigerate them immediately and is easier if you use a baking tray.
once dry, store them in a vented fruit container(helps with off gassing). the goal is to keep them dry, cold, and ventilated.
following these steps I’ve had them last 3-5 weeks before going bad.
Blackberries are fine, yet raspberries rot right away.
You have to eat them in store before you leave, it’s the only way.
48 hrs. Tops.
They rot while you bring them home somehow.
Funny how my brain recognizes Canadian packaging before I consciously register the bilingual labelling.
I love fruit on my cereal, but that doesn’t take a ton per bowl. I’ve gotten to the point where I only buy blueberries because they last pretty well. I’m happy when I have people over and make a fruit salad because then there’s usually some leftover other kinds of berries.

THE MILK IS ABOUT TO GO BAD.

And there it goes…
I started getting oat/almond milk for this reason. Less land/CO2 usage, and they last longer.
Dang it Bobby!!
I learned to make jam just so they wouldn’t be a complete waste.
Got some from a neighbor the other day… Left them on the counter… fuck.
I eat a container like this in a few minutes, this is so good :)
Not in my fridge! I just threw them out an hour ago.
Clean and dry them and they last notably longer.
be a fatty like me and box be empty before arriving home
Wonder if you could get fat if your diet was mostly fruit?
Probably? It’s high in sugar. But it’s also got lots of fiber so you probably just shit it all right back out
Fiber also slows down how quickly you use the sugar. For every gram of fiber you can “subtract” one gram of sugar. A lot of modern fruit has been bread to be high sugar low fiber like clementines and bananas but there’s still lots of healthy fruits
In the U.S., we bread and deep-fry everything.
Add to coffee ice cream, eat…profit?
