Storage Tips:
How to Store Blueberries
Produce can be covered in dirt, mold spores, and other stuff we don’t want to eat. Blueberries are especially sensitive to these things. Wash the berries in 1 part vinegar and 3 parts water. Soak 15 minutes and fully dry. No need to rinse! Store berries in the fridge in an towel-lined airtight container.
How to Store Thyme
This works for most woody herbs like thyme and rosemary. Store your herbs like cut flowers. Trim the ends, place in a mason jar, and cover the ends (not the greens) with water. For softer herbs like cilantro, place cover with a bag. They’ll keep in the fridge for weeks!
