Short-Term Storage

• 1). Place berries in a shallow, breathable container and store on the counter for fresh-tasting berries with good texture. This method is best if you plan on eating the berries within a day or two.
  
  
• 2). Store berries in a covered container in the refrigerator to add a few more days to the lifespan of the berries. However, this may cause the berries to slightly lose the fresh taste of just-picked berries.
  
  
• 3). Wash berries and pat them dry right before use.
