Berry Storage and Handling Best Practices

High-quality, colorful, flavorful berries are always on our menu. California Giant Berry Farms delivers all-season smiles.

Unload all berries immediately into a cold room, roughly 32°F. Never allow a shipment to sit outside of a cold atmosphere.

Check for maturity, ripeness level, quantity, packaging, size, count, weight, and grade. Report any discrepancies immediately.

Store unwashed, in clamshells away from sources of moisture; moisture will cause rapid breakdown of the berry.

Don’t wash berries until ready to serve and use a gentle spray of cool water.

Don’t remove green caps from strawberries until after rinsing. This helps to retain flavor inside the berries.
