How to Store Blueberries Like a Pro (No Special Tools Needed!)

Choose Fresh Berries: Look for plump, firm, and dry blueberries without any mold or soft spots. Moldy berries can spoil the entire batch.

Avoid Washing Before Storing: Wash blueberries only when you're ready to eat them. Excess moisture can lead to mold growth.

Use a Ventilated Container: Store blueberries in a container with holes or a paper towel-lined container to allow air circulation.

Keep Them in the Fridge: Blueberries stay fresh longer in the fridge. Store them in the coolest part, typically at the back of the fridge.

Use a Paper Towel: Line the bottom of the container with a paper towel to absorb excess moisture and keep the berries dry.

Don’t Overcrowd: If possible, store blueberries in a shallow container so they aren’t squished together. This reduces the risk of bruising.

Freeze for Long-Term Storage: For longer shelf life, freeze blueberries. Lay them out on a baking sheet in a single layer and freeze.

Check Regularly: Every couple of days, check the berries for any moldy or squished ones and remove them immediately to prevent spoilage.
