Raspberries

Raspberries: Main Image

Best to Buy

Choose fully ripe berries that are aromatic, firm, plump, brightly colored, and without cores. Avoid stained or leaking containers, which indicate overripeness, and stay away from soft, shriveled, or moldy berries.

Prep & Store

Gently wash the fragile berries in cold water just before using—but don't soak them! Drain well and air dry, or softly pat dry with a paper towel.

Tasty Tip

Fresh raspberries are highly perishable, so try to buy them the day before you serve them to ensure the best flavor and appearance. To keep for a day or two, remove them from the container, arrange them in a single layer in a moisture-proof container, cover loosely, and refrigerate.
