How to tell if raspberries has gone bad
- Any fuzzy grey mold — the whole container goes, not just that berry
- Berries collapsing into juice at the bottom of the box
- A winey, fermented smell
- Dull, weeping berries stuck to each other
When in doubt, throw it out.
Don’t wash raspberries until the moment you eat them — water on the fruit is what makes them collapse.
