Maximize Your Blueberries

Whether acquiring fresh blueberries from the grocery store, farmers market, or a you-pick blueberry farm, maximize freshness by waiting to wash them until right before eating. Unlike other berries that can benefit from a quick water and white vinegar soak right when you get home, blueberries actually have their own natural protective coating called a bloom (that’s what that waxy white-ish layer on their surface is)! Washing them immediately removes this protective layer, so this is one berry where procrastinating on washing is to your benefit
