Not saying your experience is wrong just that it’s the complete opposite from mine. There’s a handful of berry pickers in my household, including myself, and they can last well over a week in the fridge. Probably two at a minimum. I’ve done this with blueberries, raspberries, blackberries, and elderberries.
I always soak them when I get back and remove all debris and bugs. Then I will go about letting them dry then refrigerate in an airtight container
That’s wild. I have four rows of raspberry plants in my backyard I inherited, so I pick nearly every day in August and September. They’re still edible after 2 days, but they’re slightly discolored and soft. Two weeks they would mold for sure, even with the wash and dry. So I either eat them or jam them pretty quickly.
Not saying your experience is wrong either, maybe they’re a completely different variety.
Fresh picked berries are good for about 2 days in the fridge. It’s a wonder they ever get them to last longer, really.
