This is an awesome piece of
info! We buy fresh fruit but because we eat a little of each (Banana,
Strawberries, Raspberries, Blueberries, Grapes, Cantaloupe, Pineapple &
Watermelon) every day the berries start to go bad quickly and end up in the
garbage. Not anymore, thanks to this great tip. The key to preventing mouldy berries...
Berries are delicious, but
they're also kind of delicate. Raspberries in particular seem like they can mould
before you even get them home from the market. There's nothing more tragic than
paying $4 for a punnet of local raspberries, only to
look in the fridge the next day and find that fuzzy mould growing on their
insides. Well, with fresh berries just starting to hit farmers markets, we can
tell you that how to keep them fresh! Here's a tip I'm sharing on how to
prevent them from getting there in the first place:
Wash them with vinegar.
When you get your berries home,
prepare a mixture of one part vinegar (white or apple cider probably work best)
and ten parts water. Dump the berries into the mixture and swirl around. Drain, rinse if you
want (though the mixture is so diluted you can't taste the vinegar,) and pop in
the fridge. The vinegar kills any mould spores and other bacteria that might be
on the surface of the fruit, and voila! Raspberries will last a week or more,
and strawberries go almost two weeks without getting mouldy
and soft. So go forth and stock up on those pricey little gems, knowing they'll
stay fresh as long as it takes you to eat them You're so berry welcome!
