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