    I refrigerate them and there are these new * containers* sold at walmart that are wonderful to hold the lettuce and berries for a nice olong time, they have green lids, i dont remember the name , give them a look, they work wonderful. Good luck

  • When you purchase fresh berries they will start to get old regardless of whether or not you refrigerate them. If you don't use them right away, freeze them. Just remember they won't thaw fresh and plump though.

    Berries don't last all that long unless you freeze them.

    When you get them home put them in an air tight container and refrigerate ASAP. Do NOT wash them as this makes them go bad quicker.

    you can refrigerate them, but alot of people just leave them in a bowl or something on the counter or whatever. you could also freeze them. frozen berries make a wonderful snack!

    Refrigeration is ok, however they must be well covered or they will dry out. Refrigerators tend to suck moisture out foods because of their low interior humidity.

    Freezing any kind of fruit is best. It stays fresh longer.
