This may take up much-needed space in the fridge, but if you lay them out in ONE layer on a cookie sheet rather than stacked on top of each other like they come packed, they'll last for several days. As others have posted, don't wash until you're ready to use.

I purchase large amounts of berries..I use the vinegar method, the vinegar kills the mold that is present on berries . I fill a bowl with cold water and about 2 to 3 cups of white vinegar and stir them around and let them set for about 10 min. I then rinse cold water and lay them single layer on a towel or paper towels till completely dry, then I place a paper towel in my green bag and lay them in the green bags trying not to over crowd them and I place the bag in the frig and I leave the top open for air flow. If the paper towel gets damp in a few days I change it, this method works well for me and I can keep berries of all kinds blue,ras,strawberries easily two weeks.

I always thought too that we shouldn't wash and cut until ready to use but my mother proved me wrong. She washes and hulls her strawberries, then puts them in a glass container with a glass lid in the fridge. They stay fresh and crisp for DAYS! I was stunned. She says it's the glass vs plastic thing. I have now used my Temptations stoneware with stoneware lids and they work well too. I'm sure the mason jars with vacuum sealing also work.

I set them in the sink with white vinegar then let them drain in a towel and refrigerate and they last way way longer. I also store them with a papertowel
