To avoid watery berries, they should never be washed under running water. Instead, remember that the processing of berries should take place immediately before you plan to consume them. The process of washing them is carried out using a large bowl of water. Gently place the berries in the bowl and leave them for 1-2 minutes, then drain the water. This procedure should be repeated until the berries are clean.

As for dense summer fruits such as apricots, nectarines, and peaches, they can be gently washed under running water. After washing the fruit, it is important to dry it on a towel and place it in a large container or plate lined with paper towels. This will help to remove excess moisture and prolong their freshness.
