Taking Care of Your Berries

Cranberries are rich in phyto-nutrients (naturally derived plant compounds), which are essential for all-around wellness. Fresh berries can be stored in the refrigerator for several days. But you need to sort out any discolored, soft, shriveled, or sticky fruits before storing. When purchasing from the stores, choose berries with uniform surface and color. Wash them in cold water just prior to use to keep their texture intact. They have a very short shelf life when they are kept at room temperature.
