Part 4/6:
Berries like strawberries, blackberries, and raspberries need special care. After washing, spread them out to dry on a towel and avoid stacking them, as they can bruise easily. For the best freshness, avoid cutting off the stems of berries until you are ready to consume them.
Leafy Greens
Once washed, leafy greens should be dried thoroughly in a salad spinner, after which they can be stored in a container lined with a paper towel to absorb excess moisture, thereby preventing spoilage.
Herbs
For herbs like cilantro, store them upright in a jar with water, resembling a bouquet. This method helps the herbs stay fresh longer as they continue to absorb moisture through their stems.
