How to keep the rest
To keep the remaining blueberries fresh, store them unwashed in their original container or a breathable container in the refrigerator. Avoid washing them until just before you plan to use them, as excess moisture can lead to spoilage. Check for any bruised or moldy berries and remove them to prevent them from affecting the others.
