How do you store them? I have blackberries and raspberries from my bushes in the summer and have bought from the store other times and berries just don't seem to keep for long. Had the same problem with strawberries and blueberries.
Tried freezing blueberries once and it completely ruined the texture.

You can only preserve them; they're soft fruits.
The obvious way to preserve them is to turn them into jam. There's a reason people have been doing that for centuries.
Or you can freeze them, but they'll turn to mush when defrosted (as you pop the cells with ice crystals). This isn't an issue if you want to make sauces with them. Or you can use them frozen straight into a smoothy.
After visiting Europe, I can't eat grocery store fruits and vegetables unless I'm cooking them or whatever. If I'm going to eat something raw, I have to buy the organic shit. Y'know what's good when your stoned? An organic pear. I'm not gonna post the pear picture, you know what the fuck it looks like.

Aren't you the life of the party.

Pears are pretty meh to me because of the gross grainy texture and skin and lack of sweetness. Give me a apple any day

Pears are my favourite fruits. Good pears, anyway. While I've never had a bad apple, I've also never had a great apple. They're always meh-to-good to me. But pears... Pears run the gamut from absolute dogshit to glory-of-God and everything in between.
Despite being my favourite fruit, I have no idea how to select good pears so it's always a crapshoot for me. That gives me a sad.

I like salads as snacks. Is that odd? Also pickled/lactofermented veg. Basically, if it's a veg with sour taste, I'm on it like blacks on public benefits.

>lack of sweetness
wat
ripe pear is incredibly sweet, way more so than most apples
>>7179101
Ya know what's really good? Throw a pack of those blackberries in a blender with some ice cream and milk for a quick and delicious blackberry shake.

You've never had a bad apple? Really? Lucky you. I mean I've mostly had good ones, but I've definitely had some horribly bland, inedible ones.
I also like salads as snacks (especially when drunk). I like to keep frozen berries to mix into yogurt, and occasionally I'll put some in a mug with skim milk. Baby carrots with or without hummus are another favorite snack of mine. Veggies and fruits are the most convenient snacks ever.
