14 Mistakes You’re Making with Summer Berries

Not choosing your fruit carefully

To get the most out of berry season, know what to look for in each fruit.

  • Blackberries: These berries should be firm and juicy looking. Avoid berries that look bruised or shriveled.
  • Blueberries: Look for plump, firm berries that aren’t shriveled. You’ll also want to avoid berries with a greenish or red cast (a slightly silvery appearance is OK, though!).
  • Raspberries: Look for vibrantly colored fruit and avoid any berries that looked bruised.
  • Strawberries: Strawberries will not continue to ripen after being picked. When you’re shopping at the grocery store or farmers market (or even picking in your own garden), look for firm, bright red fruit with as little white as possible.

Keep these tips in mind as you visit U-pick farms near you.
