]]>The little jewels are also excellent on their own as a snack, but, like most fruit, they are prone to spoil. Here are the best tips to ensure your berries go the distance.
Pick Your Players
When selecting your berries, look for ones that are plump and firm with high shine. Avoid punnets that have juice pooling at the bottom, and remove any berries that are bruised, slimy, or spoiled to prevent them from turning the rest of the bunch to the dark side.
Bathe Those Berry Babies
Want to know the secret to keeping your berries longer and ridding them of any mold spores? Vinegar. Combine two tablespoons of the sour solution with three cups of water and give your berries a bath once you’ve brought them back from the store. Rinse with clear water to remove the vinegary taste and gently pat dry.
Don’t Keep Them Too Cozy
Berries need to breathe. Avoid using airtight containers to store these guys as any moisture locked in will become a breeding ground for bacteria. Paper towels are a useful tool to prevent spoilage, so line your storage container with a couple of sheets and place your berries in the front of the fridge where it isn’t as cold.

Lena Categorizing and defining plants is not an easy job and we’re sure the people in charge of it did the best they could, but some things still surprise us. Berries are one of the fruit subcategories, just like citrus, stonefruit, pome, and drupe. Since the technical definition states that berry is a fruit produced from the ovary of a single flower, further research tells us that bananas fall into this category but strawberries and raspberries don’t.
In order to be a berry, fruit needs to have two or more seeds and develop from a single-ovary flower. Bananas fits into this description, and so do tomatoes, kiwis, and eggplants.
I love it because it’s high fiber, high protein while still being rich in iron, magnesium and other essential minerals! I am a huge believer in eating a nutrient dense breakfast because it provides SUSTAINED ENERGY, which is VERY much needed for long school/work days!
• Breakfast #dEATS: @earnesteats mighty maple oats (mix with water + microwave for 1.5 min) topped with strawberries, banana slices, & @manitobaharvest hemp seeds! it is unsweetened so, I ended up adding a dash of @traderjoes organic maple syrup!
#justineeatsWhat about strawberries? They are known as “accessory fruits,” which means their flesh doesn’t come from the ovaries, but from the receptacle in which the ovaries are found. Good luck knowing your fruits from now on!
