Blueberries are round with a slightly flattened top and bottom. They are covered in deep purple and smooth skin. These little berries bring you a fantastic mix of sweet, tart, and fruity flavors. The powdery coating known as the "bloom" serves as a natural shield for blueberries against sunlight. Its presence indicates that the berries were harvested under favorable, dry conditions. Blueberries adorned with this protective bloom will boast firmness and plumpness rather than being soft and mushy. Moreover, they tend to have an extended shelf life.

Shelf Life and Storage

Blueberries have a shelf life of up to 2 to 3 days. They begin to turn soft once they lose their freshness which is your cue. Store these berries in a refrigerator to slow down the ripening process. 
Place the blueberries in a breathable container, such as a shallow bowl or a container with holes, to allow air circulation. Avoid storing them in airtight containers or plastic bags, as this can promote moisture buildup and lead to mold growth.
