🛒 Choosing it

Check the bottom of the box for crushed or moldy berries.

Best season: Summer. Timing varies by region.

🧊 Storing it

Fridge: 1 to 2 days, unwashed
Freezer: 12 months

Keep the fridge at 40°F or below and the freezer at 0°F. Freezer times are for best quality; food kept frozen at 0°F stays safe. When in doubt, throw it out. Times from Rutgers Cooperative Extension.

🔪 Prepping it

Rinse gently just before eating. They are fragile, so add them last.
