Blueberry Tips

You can use fresh or frozen blueberries interchangeably for baking. When using dehydrated blueberries, some recipes may have you soak them in water for a few minutes or until fruit "plumps"’ then drain before using. Other recipes may have already adjusted for the moisture content. Read each recipe carefully for instructions.

Storing Ripe Berries

To store ripe berries, scatter on a rimmed baking sheet lined with paper towels, then store in the fridge until you're ready to wash and eat them. 

Easy Freezing Tips: Blueberries freeze well without washing. Simply put room temperature berries into ziplock bags and freeze. Rinse before using
