We are BIG berry eaters in my house, the fridge is always stocked with them. Blueberries and blackberries are jam packed with antioxidants. Blueberries, blackberries and strawberries are rich sources of fiber, potassium, vitamin C and are low in fat and calories. Funny thing about berries though is you have to keep them fresh and from drying out. On a trip to the grocery store, while I was in the produce section, I spotted these cool little baskets. They were very inexpensive, considering the money I would be saving by not throwing berries in the trash can after having them for 2-3 days. My berries are lasting about 2 weeks in these containers, that's a long life for fresh berries. Check them out!
I found them in four different colors, red, green and yellow in the square size. The boxes are BPA free and dishwasher safe.
(I recommend top rack)
They are three compartment containers that come taped together.
They consist of a bottom container, a basket and a lid for storing the berries and keeping them fresh. Put your berries in the basket, rinse, drain excess water off, drop basket into the bottom container, put on the lid and "burp" it, store in the refrigerator.
Take the three pieces apart, and they go back together for storing your berries.
This purple container is the other size basket. It's rectangle shape is perfect for storing strawberries.
