Driscoll’s Berry Fest #Berry Together

 

 A berry, is just a berry, right?  WRONG!  Driscoll’s berries are the very best that you can get.  What makes them so different, you ask?  Well, let us tell you.

 

Driscoll’s berries are hand-picked in the field every morning.  Independent farmers get their clamshell containers, and get to picking.

Once picked, they go directly to a Driscoll’s cooler, that very same day.

The berries are then inspected for quality, tagged, and placed into refrigeration tunnels to bring them to the perfect storage temperature (33 degrees!).

The pallets are wrapped for stability during shipping, trucks are inspected for cleanliness, and the fruit is wrapped to ensure quality.

Then, the berries arrive FRESH as soon as possible after picking to ensure that they are ripe and delicious.

 

 

But, what do you do with them once you get them home to keep them fresh for as long as possible?  Here is the INSIDER SCOOP!
