How to Keep Raspberries Fresh, Longer: The Ultimate Guide for Long-Lasting Berries

There’s nothing like a fresh bowl of juicy raspberries, but they seem to go mushy in the blink of an eye. So why does it happen so fast? The answer lies in a process called “postharvest water loss.” From the moment raspberries are picked, they start losing water through ”transpiration”, a natural process that causes water to evaporate from the berries. As water escapes, so does their firmness, flavor, and vital nutrients, leaving you with limp, lackluster fruit.

In fact, studies show that postharvest water loss affects the nutrients, texture, and flavor of living foods like raspberries【source】. This makes raspberries extremely sensitive to how they’re stored, which brings us to the best solution for preserving their freshness—Abeego beeswax wraps.

Abeego Wraps to the Rescue

Abeego wraps are specially designed to keep living foods like raspberries fresh longer by reducing water loss. Unlike airtight plastic containers, which trap moisture and lead to quick mold growth, Abeego wraps are breathable, allowing the berries to stay cool while minimizing the rate of water loss. By allowing raspberries to breathe naturally, Abeego helps keep them fresh, firm, and nutrient-rich for longer—saving you money, reducing waste, and making every bite count.

We did our own research and the results were clear. Abeego lost far less moisture than the plastic clamshell. 

How to Wrap Raspberries in Abeego: Step-by-Step Guide

Ready to extend the life of your raspberries? Follow these simple steps to get the best results:

1. Prepare Your Raspberries  

Gently pat them dry to remove excess moisture. This prevents unnecessary dampness that could speed up spoilage.

2. Wrap with Abeego  

Place your raspberries in an Abeego wrap. Fold it snugly around the clamshell to protect them with a breathable barrier. We use a Large Square around the square clamshells and a Medium Rectangle around the rectangle clamshells. 

3. Store in the Crisper Drawer  

The crisper drawer is the ideal spot for Abeego-wrapped raspberries, keeping them at the perfect humidity level for freshness.

And that’s it! With Abeego, you can enjoy vibrant, firm raspberries for days longer than with standard storage options.

Why Abeego Works Better Than Plastic

Airtight plastic can trap moisture, leading to moldy berries before you even get to enjoy them. Abeego’s beeswax-coated fabric allows for a natural exchange of gasses and minimizes excess moisture build-up. This creates the optimal environment for living foods, letting your raspberries stay juicy, firm, and flavorful for much longer. Abeego’s design mimics nature’s own methods of preserving freshness, making it the perfect match for delicate fruits.
