Storing fresh berries

Before storing berries you should check them one by one and discard any deformed or moldy berries. Separate overripe berries from the rest and consume them within one day. Store remaining berries in a shallow container lined and even topped with paper towels. Wrap the container in plastic wrap and keep in the refrigerator for up to a week. Do not wash berries that will be refrigerated. Wash just before eating them.
