If you're wondering whether or not you should wash raspberries before eating them, you've come to the right place! You should, indeed, wash raspberries before chowing down, and we'll tell you how below. Read on for more!
Method 1: Cleaning Your Raspberries with Water
-
Fill up a cool water bath: Make sure your sink is large enough for a colander or sieve. Fill it with cool water, ensuring it covers the raspberries.
-
Place raspberries in colander: Lay them in a single layer to prevent bruising.
-
Submerge colander: Ensure berries are completely underwater for effective cleaning.
-
Swish gently: Move berries around to remove dirt, avoiding bruising.
-
Drain and dry: Lift the colander out and let water drain. Then, spread berries on a paper towel-lined baking sheet.
Method 2: Using a Vinegar Solution and Salad Spinner
-
Make the solution: Mix 3 parts water with 1 part distilled white vinegar. This kills bacteria and extends shelf life.
-
Soak berries: Place raspberries gently into the solution, moving them occasionally to remove dirt.
-
Spin dry: Transfer berries to a salad spinner lined with paper towels. Spin gently to remove excess moisture.
-
Optional rinse: If concerned about vinegar taste, rinse berries gently in water while in the spinner.
-
Store: Once dry, place the berries in a container for serving, freezing, or refrigerating.
By following these methods, you'll ensure your raspberries are clean, safe, and delicious to eat!
