Fact Check Everything - Tumblr Posts

So I checked the video and there's an Important distinction between the Hack done in the video and the hack posted by OP.

OP Clearly states to rince the berries/fruit in water with Distilled vinegar. This means a food grade vinegar that is Only the vinegar and nothing else, typically this is a white vinegar.

In the Video however they use Apple Cider Vinegar, this is a vinegar commonly used in cooking and baking, particularly in Sweeter foods where you want an Acid taste. This is because apple cider vinegar has a relatively high sugar content.

OP also puts the berries into sealed jars, where as ann and 5min crafts both leave their berries in open air containers or even the Original container they came in.

So yeah Its gonna mold relatively fast cause you just soaked them in sugar and left them in the open air.

Please feel free to fact check me and Test this for yourself, but washing your produce is Never a bad thing.

Fruit will last 3 weeks longer….

Why You Should Keep Fruit In Mason Jars Instead Of The Containers They Come In…….

When you get your fruit home from the grocery store, the first thing you should do is remove it from the plastic containers they’ve come in and recycle them. Next, clean out your sink and fill it with water (you could also use a large bowl). Then, toss in a few tablespoons of distilled vinegar. You’ll then want to submerge your fruit in the water and let it soak for about 10 to 15 minutes. The purpose of this is to get rid of any mold or bacteria on the fruit which is what causes them to go rotten more quickly.

Once the fruit has had a nice soak, remove it from the vinegar water, transfer to a strainer, and rinse with cool water. Leave the fruit out to dry on a tea towel or paper towel. Once dry, transfer the fruit to mason jars and seal up those lids. This is the best way to make your fruit last, particularly berries, which tend to be very prone to mold and bacteria buildup.

And that’s it! Incorporating these few extra steps into preparing and storing fruit can help you eliminate food waste, save money, and keep your fridge stocked with fresh produce for much longer.
