I feel a little proud of this. I was tired of the raspberries I get from the store going bad so freakin fast. Looked up some different ways to keep them fresh and I liked this method. I washed the raspberries well, dried them with a paper towel as much as possible, then lined an airtight glass container with a paper towel then placed the berries inside. Stored in the fridge. Throughout the week I made sure to remove the berries that were starting to rot (only really 3). I think it was a success

My hack is to leave them in the original containers unwashed, and place inside an airtight ziplock bag in the fridge. They keep for at least a week.
My dad taught us that paper towels absorb moisture well. After opening any bagged salads or refrigerated fruit/vegetables, we always toss in a paper towel or two before resealing to absorb the moisture and keep the produce from rotting quickly. We need to use every dollar wisely that we spend in this economy, so I’m happy you found a way to keep your produce fresh!
Because the question HAS to be asked… : What is the purpose of NOT eating the berries ?… NINE days ?
washing berries with a little vinegar also adds some longevity.
though, now for myself i just buy frozen berries and eat those. i buy in season strawberries for my son this time of year because he doesn’t like the frozen texture. beyond that, all frozen.
Yep! Paper Thiel works great for wet vrg and fruit.
I wash then dry, spread them out on a cookie sheet and put it in the freezer. Couple hours later I put them in a freezer baggie. Do this with all my berries right when I buy them. when I make my smoothie in the am, it’s nice and cold still while I drink it! Same with cutting up my bananas if they start to turn. But banana and cut strawberries I put on wax paper on the pan so they don’t stick.
