Washing your blueberries:
How to wash your blueberries before eating: mix 1 teaspoon of baking soda for every 2 cups of cold water. Add your blueberries, swish them around and let them sit in the mixture for 10 min. Rinse with plain water. This is the best method to remove any pesticide residue. We recommend storing your berries dry in an open container in the refrigerator and washing them just before eating or baking with them. We recommend washing your berries and drying them completely before freezing.
