How to store berries: a common mistake is named

Berries are an inexhaustible source of vitamins, useful microelements, and minerals that ensure the quality and productive work of the body. That is why they should be present in the diet of every person.

However, we all face the problem of storing berries, because after a few days in the refrigerator, they can become moldy or simply start to rot. The reason for this is a common mistake made by most housewives. A user with the nickname katya.mackle shared what exactly it is on TikTok.

The blogger notes that to begin with, the berries should be washed and dried thoroughly. To do this, you can use a paper towel or a special salad dryer. Thanks to the latter device, you can significantly save on paper towels. If you leave the berries in the refrigerator unwashed, they can spoil the next day.

Now you'll need a glass container with a mesh with holes on the bottom. It is thanks to it that you will be able to collect any moisture released by the berries at the bottom. At the same time, the product itself will not be in it. If you don't have such a grid at hand, you can use an ordinary paper towel. Do not close the container with the berries and put them in the refrigerator on the top shelf. This is how the berries will stay fresh for as long as possible.
