Selecting

An extremely delicate and perishable fruit that quickly loses its abundant blackish, violet juice. Blackberries are picked ripe and may be refrigerated for transport to the store. Choose only plump, firm blackberries that are not losing juice.

You can refrigerate blackberries for up to 3 days.

Eating

Eat same-day to enjoy maximum freshness. Delicious and attractive when sprinkled on your summer dessert.
