Summer is the season of berries, so buyers give preference to them.
Many berries are sold by weight, but this option cannot be stored for very long.
Berries sold by weight have a short shelf life, since they lose juice when moved. The Moscow Agency reports details, citing MosGIK specialist Elena Pavlova.
It is noted that at present you can buy an abundance of berries: blueberries, gooseberries, currants, raspberries.
According to Pavlova, it is better to give preference to berries that are laid out in individual hard packaging.
She recommended washing the berries before eating. The optimal storage temperature is zero. Thanks to this, the berries will delight you with their freshness for at least 12 hours.
The expert also noted that you can prolong the freshness of berries on the branch if you do not separate them before putting them in the refrigerator for storage.
According to her, before freezing berries, they need to be washed and dried. This can be done on a paper towel. It is better to freeze berries in a tight and airtight package.
