Berry lovers know the problem. You bring your precious berries home, can't eat all the same day, but the next day majority of them are gone. If you keep wondering what to do in order to prolong its life keep reading.
Thermotherapy is surprising way of prolonging life of berries, but it seems to be working and this is very precious piece of experience shared with us by Harold McGee writing for NYT. Just don't miss this very interesting article, because it helps to store yummy berries much longer that 24-48 hours.

Interesting! But what about change in flavour? Surely being exposed to heat must change that juicy fresh flavour, right?
In our home this aint a problem, our kids eat every litte berry at once :D

Wow! I had never heard this before, Ewa! Thanks for this information. I tend to prolong berries by putting them in a plastic freezer bag and freezing them until I want to use them in scones, which is where they are most apt to end up. :) But, this is a good technique and I'm glad you let us know!
Always useful to find ways of storing or preserving gluts of fruit and vegetables.
Greetings,
My name is Barbara O’ Brien and my blogging at The Mahablog, Crooks and Liars, AlterNet, and elsewhere on the progressive environmental blogophere has earned me the notoriety of being a panelist at the Yearly Kos Convention and a featured guest blogger at the Take Back America Conference in Washington, DC.
I’m contacting you because I found your site in an environmental search and want to tell you about my newest blogging platform —the environmental concern of Asbestos Litigation Blog at www.maacenter.org/blog —where I am looking at critical issues in new light. Our shared concerns include asbestos contamination of the environment, environmentally safe workplaces, green public policies, health, and green building.
To increase awareness on these important issues, my goal is to get a resource link on your site or even allow me to provide a guest posting. Please contact me back, I hope to hear from you soon. Drop by our site www.maacenter.org in the meantime.
Thanks,
Barbara O’Brien

The berries get eaten at my house too. No chance on them going bad. But this is good to know.
It's an interesting article; especially as we don't have room for inflated bags in the fridge/freezer.
