Place the berries in the container, lay a paper towel on top, add the lid and store in the fridge upside down. Makes changing the towel so much easier

@amethyst4444 2 года назад

Thanks!!! Great idea!

Do u still have to do a vinegar bath with that method?

@jmarie7405 2 года назад

That's what I've always done!

@catinawilliams4645 2 года назад

That’s how I do my different greens, lettuces

@user-sf9gs2pg1b Год назад

I want to do this, but I really don’t like using one use items. Hopefully a regular towel works.

@patriciascott4211 2 года назад

So helpful. I work 7 day stretches, 10 hrs a day and before running out the door, I make a parfait or smoothie but my berries are moldy in 2-3 days! I wish I found this out earlier but from now on I'm doing this

@brendahoward3313 Год назад

Try putting berries in a mason jar in your fridge...works great. I had blackberries n rasp last for 2-3 weeks

Hello Kristin, thank you so much for sharing!! I've been doing this with my strawberries and blueberries but never thought of using a towel to help dry them, I've been using paper towels and now I see I've been wasting paper towels!! Thank you again!!❤️

@bjyoung3009 Год назад

I always rinse my grapes, and blueberries with water then add some baking soda to remove any coating on the outside then soak in vinegar water. To strawberries I only do a quick vinegar wash about a minute since they are like sponges then pat dry with paper towel.

@OregonDARRYL Год назад

I pull the leaves off before cleaning. Then before eating, I cut them in half, then cut a V out of the top of each half removing as little as possible of the red.

@user-gx8te7gx9u 2 года назад

hey there i like to tell you that you can keep it in fridge longer too strawberry and raspberry use the containers they come in empty them in a bowl put a paper towel on the bottom and add rice about 2 in then put them back in they will last longer if it works for a phone to get the moisture out it does work Toby

I buy my strawberries first of the month and they stay good for 2 to 3 weeks i don't do any thing special they don't go bad i turn mine over to the body and i switch them ever other day

Hi! So I’m confused if I’m planning to use the raspberries in the upcoming days how should I washed them? 😢 just with water ? And vinegar as well? Thank you for the tips !

@JohnDoe-gv9jv 3 года назад

Great advice. I will do that right now to my blueberries. Thanks.

@ANew-cs5vy 2 года назад

I use a lot more vinegar, close to 50-50 and I do not rinse them, I simply dry them on a single layer paper towels top and bottom and then store them and they don’t get moldy. I simply rinse them before eating to get any vinegar taste off.

@ANew-cs5vy Год назад

@@chrisharder4854 Common sense and critical thinking skills will tell you that exactly how long berries will last depends on many factors such as how fresh they were when you got them, the exact temperature of your refrigerator not to mention the humidity level. Is that specific enough for you?

I came here to find the best way to wash and store strawberries. I'm subscribing because I love the name of your channel. LIVE SIMPLY is my goal and my mantra. I have the saying in a few rooms of my house to remind myself of the life I so desperately want. I'm anxious to go back to past videos to see what else you've done....as soon as I take care of my strawberries 🍓

Hi! where is your salad spinner from? Can you link it? Also, is the vinegar safe to eat for babies? if we are washing it like this for our baby? thanks so much!

@j.c4007 17 дней назад

Use non pasteurised cider vinegar for 2 minutes. And rinse well .

@MrYarabandi 3 года назад

I need help. I freezed blueberries, blackberries, strawberries. Washed them all, got rid of excess water using paper towel. There were a couple blackberries slightly softened (crushed) but I am sure they were all fresh. Also sliced strawberries, there were some water resulted from slicing and I thought it was not an issue to concern. After I unfreeze the mix and ate, there was a huge throat burning sourness and the taste overall was very unpleasant. At what point I made the mistake and caused the sourness, looking for a pro to diagnose :) Thanks in advance.

@ponchiponchitin6318 3 года назад

Thank you for this helpful video, However if you place berries or any other fruit inside a sealed container you will stop its respiration process due to the lack of oxygen causing the fruit to decay probably even faster. This is one of the reason manufactures place them inside containers with little openings. Hope this help

@faithclyde9098 2 года назад

From my experience, if I put berries in an airtight Mason jar they last faaarrr longer than when they have access to air. Like 3 to 4 weeks for strawberries! Thats the longest I've ever had berries without them going bad 😂

What about baking soda? Should you combine baking soda and vinegar in the water? Soaking time 15 minutes?

@TruthTroubadour-xi9cc 16 дней назад

Raspberries actually freeze very well, as do blueberries. I don't like how strawberries freeze, however. When i lived in Anchorage, Alaska, i would pick about a gallon of raspberries per day from my mom's yard every August. I gently just rinsed and dried them thoroughly, then put them in freezer bags, removing all the air, and popped them in the freezer. I made raspberry cheesecake every Christmas...so good! We also made freezer jam.

@daddyabi7 Год назад

can you use red wine vinegar instead of white vinegar

@Ana-bu3hh 2 года назад

Wether I store my strawberries in an air-tight container or one with openings, condensation still builds up and mold develops faster. Not sure what I'm doing wrong.

@mimiweddle669 3 года назад

I totally do love my salad spinner that I use on my greens... but I’m confused why you used it soaking the berries... I didn’t see you spin it? Did I miss something? I don’t see why a bowl wouldn’t do the same thing??

@LiveSimply 3 года назад

I find it easier than a bowl because you can put the berries in the basket portion, fill the spinner bowl with the basket and berries inside and then when you’re done soaking just pick up the basket to drain and rinse the rinse the berries under water. So it's not used for the drying aspect in this case, just for the easy to use nature of soaking and draining and rinsing.

It's for convenience, I actually have spun my berries, I do not recommend it you end up with basically jam lol!

It won’t change the taste of the fruits as long as you don’t add too much! It is safe to consume and they will also be rinsed with water after this! (:
