Purchasing and Storage Tips

• Look for firm, plump, dry berries with smooth skins and a silvery/hazy sheen
• Stay away from soft or shriveled fruit, or any signs of mold. If the container has juice stains, this indicates that the fruit may be bruised
• Fresh blueberries should be refrigerated as soon as you bring them home, either in their original pack or in a storage container
• Don’t wash berries right away – wait until you’re ready to eat them
• Consume blueberries within ten days of purchase
• When blueberries are in season, why not stock up? You can freeze them and enjoy year round!
• If a recipe calls for frozen blueberries, make sure to measure them while they are still frozen
