Why do fresh organic berries like strawberries and raspberries rot and develop white mold patches so quickly after purchase?
I bought a container of fresh strawberries from the local grocery shop and within forty-eight hours they were covered in fuzzy white mold threads. What washing step extends their storage life?

Berry surfaces are naturally packed with microscopic wild mold spores and ambient moisture. To extend their lifespan submerge your berries in a mixture of one cup white vinegar and three cups water for five minutes. The vinegar acid kills the mold spores; dry the berries completely before storing in the fridge.
