Keep Blueberries Fresh for Weeks

Blueberries can go bad quickly if not stored correctly.

Blueberry season starts in May, and many people buy them for breakfast or desserts. They are cheaper then, but can go bad fast if not stored right.

Blueberries spoil faster in their original packaging because it's plastic and gets wet. This wetness makes mould grow.

Lisa Childs shared a simple way to store blueberries using paper towels.

Blueberries go bad faster in plastic containers from the supermarket.

Lisa said to store blueberries in a big, shallow container with a lid and paper towels to keep them fresh.

Blueberries come in plastic containers with holes for air. But in the fridge, they get wet and grow mould.

Paper towels help keep blueberries dry by soaking up wetness.

Using airtight containers or glass jars also helps keep blueberries fresh.

A paper towel in the container stops wetness from forming.

Wash blueberries to remove bacteria.

Pick good blueberries at the store and avoid dark ones.

Rinse blueberries, dry them with paper towels, and store them in a container with more paper towels.

Put blueberries in the fridge when they are dry to stop mould.

Blueberries will stay fresh for at least a week longer, or up to three weeks, with this method.
