How to pick and store blackberries.

When you’re blackberry picking, choose berries that are firm, without soft spots, mold or discoloration. Try not to heap blackberries on top of each other to avoid the risk of bruising. When you get home, refrigerate unwashed to prevent molding. When you’re ready to eat or prepare the blackberries, just rinse in cool running water and gently pat dry with paper towels. Remember, it’s best not to soak the berries in water. Blackberries can be stored in the refrigerator up to 2 to 3 days.
