I bought a kilogram of raspberries on the market, decided to wash it at home, and this is what happened to the berries after water

The question before was, Should we wash raspberries? I haven't even stood in my life. I bought the berry at the market, came home, poured it with clean water for a while, and then poured it. And then I saw on the Internet how this topic is hotly discussed. Like if I really should. Let's talk about it today!



Is it necessary to wash raspberries Sin not to please yourself and loved ones with fresh raspberries in the midst of the season. Yeah, the price of it bites a little. But the storehouse of vitamins that this berry stores in itself is definitely worth this money. From raspberries, jam is prepared for the winter, the berry is frozen whole or rubbed with sugar. Did you eat raspberry pies? It's a culinary masterpiece!

In general, you need to buy raspberries. And it is better to do this in the market, where there is an opportunity to buy a homemade fragrant berry at a better price.



After buying, I usually wash the whole batch of berries and store it in a container in the fridge. However, recently I heard the opinion that raspberries do not need to be washed. They say that it has bactericidal properties. And if you wash it, all the benefits will go away. Of course, I haven’t heard big stories in my life! Vitamins are hidden inside the berry, not on its surface, right?

So it's definitely not worth worrying about. In addition, some people think that if you wash the berry, it will turn into porridge. This argument is also far-fetched. First, no one forces you to bathe raspberries in water for very long. Secondly, whether raspberries turn into porridge depends on the initial state of the berry.



Let's think logically. We don't know who collected the raspberries, whether their hands were clean. It is also not clear whether the berries were treated with something during cultivation. No one guarantees that after eating unwashed berries, your stomach will not start to hurt. This is the best possible scenario!

If you collect berries with your own hands and know exactly in what conditions raspberries grew, then, of course, you can not wash it. In all other cases, it is better to act wisely and wash the berry. But how exactly do you do that? First of all, I recommend washing raspberries immediately before use. This is especially true if there is a lot of product.



Unwashed berries can be stored in the refrigerator longer and will not spread. In any case, do not wash raspberries under a stream of running water. So you really risk damaging the berry itself.

Just pour cold water into a deep bowl. Then put the raspberries in the coop and lower them in the bowl. Then, with a slight movement of the hand, rub the cord so that the berries mix in the water. This manipulation can be repeated several times.



Do this, and you will see that the berry will remain whole and invisible. It is best to put it on paper towels so that excess moisture goes away. But this is an optional stage - raspberries are already ready for use.



If you're going to freeze raspberries, the wash should be delayed. Most housewives are inclined to think that it is better not to wash the berry, since at low temperatures all the filth will die. And if you wash and then freeze raspberries, then after defrosting it can begin to spread. It's not always convenient, especially if you want to make a raspberry cake.

I hope you find these tips useful! Tell me, do you wash raspberries before drinking?
