Freshen Your Summer with Berries

Now that the weather is nice, berries are officially in season! Adding these delicious little fruits to your diet is the perfect way to ensure you are getting the nutrients your body needs for optimal health. Strawberries, blueberries, raspberries and blackberries are all loaded with antioxidants, fiber, vitamin C, potassium and even folate! 

When shopping for berries, look for ones that are firm, dry and without stains. Avoid green blueberries and red blackberries. Since strawberries don’t ripen after harvest, you want to stay away from green or yellow ones. 

The best place to store your berries are in the produce drawer where there’s lower circulation. They can last for one week in your fridge, however you should eat them within three days for maximum nutrition. If you don’t plan on eating them immediately, you can always freeze them for another time! Just spread them out on a baking sheet and place them in your freezer for a couple hours. Once frozen, transfer them to a container and keep frozen until you are ready to eat!
