    Yeah, I do a vinegar bath when brining berries home from the grocery store. Just fill a mixing bowl with water, then add like two cups of white distilled vinegar. Let the berries soak while you put away the rest of the groceries.

    I started doing it after I had some strawberries get visibly moldy only one day after I bought them. I was pissed. Since I started soaking them in diluted vinegar, they don’t get moldy anymore. They literally dry out and shrivel before they go bad. I just dunk the entire container into the mixing bowl, and let the entire thing float while I put my groceries away. Then give them a quick rinse with the sink sprayer before they go in the fridge.

    When I notice them starting to dry out, I just move them to the freezer instead; They still taste fine, so after they start to dry, I use them in smoothies instead.
