Produce OASIS Tip of the Day

June 12 - Blackberry Selection Tips:

Blackberries are extremely perishable and should be handled with care. Good-quality blackberries will be fairly firm and clean with good color. Keep them dry and cool in your refrigerator. Do not wash blackberries until you are ready to use them.

Avoid berries that still have their caps (stems) attached or that are green or multi-colored (red or green). These berries are not ripe and will not develop full flavor. Overripe berries will be soft, dull-colored and may leak juice.

OASIS has much more information on berries.
