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