How do you pick red raspberries?
Raspberries are picked when ripe, leaving the berry’s core on the plant. Choose plump raspberries that look firm and dry; avoid bruised or mushy fruit. Colour can vary from light to dark red but should be consistent.
How do you prepare red raspberries?
Raspberries are both a delicious and fragile fruit, best eaten within 1 to 2 days of purchase. Because they absorb water, rinse them lightly and pat dry just before using them. Enjoy fresh in a salad or on your favorite cereal. They can also be cooked with a touch of lemon or orange juice and used as a delicious sauce for chicken or fish dishes.
How do you store red raspberries?
Raspberries are highly perishable, so refrigerate them in a single layer in a moisture-proof container (up to 3 days). They also freeze well.
