Reena’s Tip of the Week:

If you can’t eat grapes fast enough after purchasing them, freeze them.

First wash and air dry (not you, the grapes), lay them neatly on a cookie sheet and place the tray in the freezer. Don’t worry too much if they touch. Even if they freeze together, they’re fairly easy to part.

When the grapes are frozen, transfer them to a freezer bag or airtight container. Store in the freezer and just take out what you need. Eat them as is, or add them to things such as yogurt, smoothies and ice cream.

All solutions are to be used at the risk of the user.
