Start by placing your berries in a colander to avoid bruising.

Rinse them gently under cold water to remove dirt or debris.

Use your hands to swish them lightly for even cleaning.

Avoid using soap or detergents, as they can ruin the taste.

Let berries drain completely to prevent sogginess.

Lay them on a paper towel to dry and soak up excess water.

Store them in the fridge in a breathable container to keep fresh.
