You have to eat them in store before you leave, it's the only way.
find the only package in the store that isnt moldy
wash those fuckers with water and a small amount of vinegar
dry them COMPLETELY (good luck)
you may have bought yourself a couple days
sniff sniff
THE MILK IS ABOUT TO GO BAD.
sniff
And there it goes...
Dang it Bobby!!
I started getting oat/almond milk for this reason. Less land/CO2 usage, and they last longer.
Bravo, I'm one of the few people who probably got that reference. Well done.
Funny how my brain recognizes Canadian packaging before I consciously register the bilingual labelling.
Pretty sure we have this exact same packaging in the US.
I've seen this brand in germany as well. Guess they are international.
I was talking about the packaging, not the brand. However setting my VPN exit node to a US location and looking up pictures of the product, most results do indeed have the same English-French labelling, funny.
Probably not with French on it.
Nope, I’m pretty sure it’s the exact same thing. Look more closely.
Packaged in Watsonville California even. lol
Lotta products packaged in the USA and shipped up.
Thry try harder to hide it lately..
Buy frozen :)
I love fruit on my cereal, but that doesn't take a ton per bowl. I've gotten to the point where I only buy blueberries because they last pretty well. I'm happy when I have people over and make a fruit salad because then there's usually some leftover other kinds of berries.
Besides frozen fruit, freeze dried fruit is also nice for cereal as a non rotting alternative
Yeah, I often get cereal with died fruit in it, but it's not the same as fresh by a longshot.
Never buy fresh berries that you aren't going to eat the same day or the day after. Frozen berries are easy to thaw well and are more than good enough for most things.
Yeah, I buy it frozen too. Blender don't give a shit how thawed it is.
Or buy them freeze dried. Almost the same nutritional values as fresh.
Just had some on my yogurt, this package doesn't stand a chance
That sounds good. That might be my lunch today.
Have a berry nice lunch :)
I learned to make jam just so they wouldn't be a complete waste.
be a fatty like me and box be empty before arriving home
Wonder if you could get fat if your diet was mostly fruit?
Probably? It's high in sugar. But it's also got lots of fiber so you probably just shit it all right back out
Fiber also slows down how quickly you use the sugar. For every gram of fiber you can “subtract” one gram of sugar. A lot of modern fruit has been bread to be high sugar low fiber like clementines and bananas but there’s still lots of healthy fruits
I eat a container like this in a few minutes, this is so good :)
You cost 25¢ a box and I eat you like chips. Gimme that fucking moldy fruit
Where do u live that they are that cheap? Here in germany they are like 3 bucks. That's why I buy only frozen. I can get like 3 times the amount for the same price.
Trying to dox myself less these days, but an agricultural corridor of the US where labor is very cheap so vegetable prices are the one thing that aren't inflating out of control
Blackberries on sale $0.50 a package here in Michigan right now
Not in my fridge! I just threw them out an hour ago.
I figured this one out. Rinse in cold water not hot, hot makes bacteria come out to prosper. Cold water hefty rise then close the container and tilt it all around to get excess water out. After that. Let them air dry for a while. Don't put them back in the wet damp fridge. They now last about 2 weeks. Depending in original ripeness. Heat will ripen faster. Cold water preserves.
Unless you are setting your AC to 40 degrees, your fridge will be dryer than your kitchen. The reduction in temp condenses the moisture out of the air. Cold air has barely any ability to hold moisture. 70 degree air has roughly 3 times the capacity for moisture than 40 degree air.
If your fridge is damp, something is wrong with your fridge.
Agreed, fridge is not "wet and damp". On the other hand, your berries will stay wet and damp much longer for the same reason, the cold air can't hold much moisture so it evaporates much slower from the berries. So the message is the same, let them dry before putting them in the fridge.
This. It really helps. I consume a lot of berries.
This hits a little too close to home.
Put them in an airtight container. Works for me with strawberries at least.
They rot while you bring them home somehow.
Just buy them frozen, idiots
u need to boil them to not risk getting shit like salmonella lol
not for me
Damn, I don't think I knew this. I guess I kind of thought that the temperature killed any bacteria/parasites, but apparently it only makes them go dormant.
Holy shit TIL. Does a microwave work?
This is more disturbing to me than gore vids.
Add to coffee ice cream, eat....profit?
Mine are hardly even blooming!
Blackberries are fine, yet raspberries rot right away.
