You have to eat them in store before you leave, it’s the only way.
-
find the only package in the store that isnt moldy
-
wash those fuckers with water and a small amount of vinegar
-
dry them COMPLETELY (good luck)
-
you may have bought yourself a couple days

THE MILK IS ABOUT TO GO BAD.
sniff
And there it goes…
Dang it Bobby!!
I started getting oat/almond milk for this reason. Less land/CO2 usage, and they last longer.
Funny how my brain recognizes Canadian packaging before I consciously register the bilingual labelling.
Got some from a neighbor the other day… Left them on the counter… fuck.
I learned to make jam just so they wouldn’t be a complete waste.
I love fruit on my cereal, but that doesn’t take a ton per bowl. I’ve gotten to the point where I only buy blueberries because they last pretty well. I’m happy when I have people over and make a fruit salad because then there’s usually some leftover other kinds of berries.
if you’re going to eat them within the week a quick rinse under the water should be fine.
if you need them to last longer, fill a large mixing bowl with water and vinegar. preferably a 15% mix with vinegar. let them sit and soak for about 10-30 minutes(dependant on how vinegary your wash is). pick the bad ones out qmd either eat or toss them. stir them around gently to agitate the dirt off them.
strain, and place on paper towels to dry. cover them! if you don’t cover them, bacteria and mold spores in the air will stick to them and only shorten your shelf life.
its best if you can refrigerate them immediately and is easier if you use a baking tray.
once dry, store them in a vented fruit container(helps with off gassing). the goal is to keep them dry, cold, and ventilated.
following these steps I’ve had them last 3-5 weeks before going bad.
48 hrs. Tops.
I eat a container like this in a few minutes, this is so good :)
be a fatty like me and box be empty before arriving home
Wonder if you could get fat if your diet was mostly fruit?
Probably? It’s high in sugar. But it’s also got lots of fiber so you probably just shit it all right back out
Fiber also slows down how quickly you use the sugar. For every gram of fiber you can “subtract” one gram of sugar. A lot of modern fruit has been bread to be high sugar low fiber like clementines and bananas but there’s still lots of healthy fruits
In the U.S., we bread and deep-fry everything.
You cost 25¢ a box and I eat you like chips. Gimme that fucking moldy fruit
Where do u live that they are that cheap? Here in germany they are like 3 bucks. That’s why I buy only frozen. I can get like 3 times the amount for the same price.
Trying to dox myself less these days, but an agricultural corridor of the US where labor is very cheap so vegetable prices are the one thing that aren’t inflating out of control
Blackberries on sale $0.50 a package here in Michigan right now
Not in my fridge! I just threw them out an hour ago.
I figured this one out. Rinse in cold water not hot, hot makes bacteria come out to prosper. Cold water hefty rise then close the container and tilt it all around to get excess water out. After that. Let them air dry for a while. Don’t put them back in the wet damp fridge. They now last about 2 weeks. Depending in original ripeness. Heat will ripen faster. Cold water preserves.
Blackberries are fine, yet raspberries rot right away.
