Nice haul!

My mom used to do that cookie sheet technique with our raspberries. They’d freeze on the cookie sheet then she could scrape them into bags and put those in the freezer.

Mind if I ask why you’ve got the leaves on the berries still? Does it preserve them better?

I only leave them on because I’m too lazy to take them off. I add them to my smoothies like that and the leaves don’t seem to affect the taste at all so what the heck they can just stay on it’s fine

Makes sense. Anything that can be digested without issue probably should be eaten honestly. The more diversity in diet the better.

What do you mix with them for a smoothie?

I did a business for a short period that was smoothie subscriptions.

My smoothie recipe was kale, watermelon, bananas, carrots, and strawberries. My customers could get either one or two liters of that delivered to their office fridge daily.

Never really got off the ground, but it was fun for a while.
