Forget size—these little bursts of joy pack more flavor, color, and antioxidants per square inch than any other fruit! From ruby-red strawberries to midnight-blue blueberries, berries are nature’s candy with benefits—sweet enough to satisfy cravings but loaded with brain-boosting, heart-loving nutrients.
But here’s the juicy truth: Not all berries are created equal. Some hide tartness under a deceptively shiny surface (we see you, grocery store raspberries), while others turn into mushy messes if stored wrong. Your berry-obsessed gorilla has nibbled, squished, and taste-tested them all to bring you the ultimate guide to picking plump, sweet perfection—every single time.
Pro Tip: Never wash berries until ready to eat… unless you enjoy mold experiments!
