If you're anything like me your house is stocked with fresh fruits and veggies all the time! The problem is, in order to keep fruit fresh I have two options:
1. Buy a lot and pray it doesn't go bad before we have a chance to eat it
2. Buy small amounts - resulting in multiple trips to the store & spending money on things I didn't need but decided to *pick up because I was there or just in case...UGH!
So here is the tip:
When you bring home berries put them in a solution of 1 part vinegar (white or apple cider will both work) 10 parts water. The amount you use depends on the amount of berries you have. Drop them in, swirl them around for a minute then drain them.
I only rinse raspberries because of their shape. The rest don't need it. I let them air dry and keep them in these containers in my refrigerator. The vinegar kills mold and inhibits its growth so your berries stay fresh longer.
I've been doing this for a while & it is super simple. I can't give you a time frame for how long it works (because we love to eat!) but I can say I have noticed a big difference in the freshness of our berries.
