1. Wash & Dry Properly

Rinse berries in cold water, pat them dry, and remove any spoiled ones. The ABT technology in advanced refrigerators eliminates 99.99% of bacteria, keeping berries fresh and reducing spoilage for longer storage.

2. Optimal Temperature

Berries need a consistent 0-1°C to stay fresh. Modern refrigerators with a My Zone feature let you fine-tune temperature settings, preserving texture, juiciness, and nutrients for an extended shelf life.

3. Use Breathable Containers

Airtight lids trap moisture, making berries spoil faster. Instead, store them in ventilated containers inside a convertible fridge section, which balances airflow and prevents excess humidity buildup for longer freshness.

4. Paper Towels Matter

Line containers with paper towels to absorb extra moisture. Dedicated fruit and vegetable storage with humidity control ensures the ideal environment, keeping berries plump, mold-free, and fresh for several extra days.

6. Avoid Stacking Berries

Overcrowding leads to bruising! Large refrigerator storage ensures you can spread berries in a single layer, preventing damage while maintaining their vibrant color, juiciness, and overall quality for longer.
