7 Mistakes Everyone Makes With Blueberries

Washing Too Early: Washing blueberries before storing them introduces moisture, which speeds up spoilage. Rinse only before eating.

Improper Storage: Leaving blueberries at room temperature can make them mushy and moldy. Store them in the fridge in a breathable container.

Skipping Freezing Prep: Freezing blueberries without washing or drying them properly can lead to clumping and freezer burn.

Ignoring Moldy Ones: Failing to remove a single moldy berry can cause the rest to spoil faster due to fungal spread.

Overlooking Ripeness: Picking or buying under-ripe blueberries results in a tart taste, as they won’t ripen further after being harvested.

Cooking Incorrectly: Stirring blueberries too much in recipes like muffins can burst them, leading to a soggy texture. Fold gently to maintain their shape.

Discarding Wrinkled Berries: Wrinkled blueberries are often sweeter and still great for smoothies or baking, so don’t throw them away.
