Blueberries bite quickly, so you can leave them for a long time if you keep them frozen.

You can put it in the refrigerator and eat it cool like a regular fruit
If it's not too much

How to save "Blueberry" as fresh fruit for a long time
http://www.thinkfood.co.kr/news/articleView.html?i...

Blueberries are produced from early July to October, and the storage period is short, so it is common to freeze them immediately after harvest and supply them throughout the year. Although raw fruits are distributed for a short period of time during the harvest season, there are difficulties in that the marketability decreases after two to three days due to severe corruption and withering.

When distributing raw fruits, farmers often harvest blueberries, select them by size, put them in a styrofoam box, and put ice packs on top to distribute them. This creates conditions that are easy for mold and bacteria to live in by meeting the high fruit surface temperature and the cold temperature of the ice pack during the summer harvest It causes rapid decay. When distributing without using an ice pack, the breathing speed of the fruit increases and withers.

The Rural Development Administration found that if blueberries are stored in a storage at 0°C immediately after harvesting, the surface temperature of the fruit is lowered as soon as possible, and then packaged and stored in a PE 0.03mm film with a fine hole of about 2% of the total surface area, the quality will be maintained for two to five weeks.

When stored and distributed, blueberries are put in small plastic containers with holes, and several small containers are collected and transported in corrugated boxes or styrofoam boxes. At this time, it is recommended to put the Styrofoam box in the low-temperature storage first and lower the temperature of the box. Surrounding a small packaging container with a 2% perforated PE 0.03mm film during distribution helps prevent withering and water droplets from forming on the blueberry surface when there is a temperature deviation.

In order to maintain the temperature during distribution, it is essential to transport by refrigerated truck, and at this time, it is ideal to transport and sell at 0°C, the same as the storage temperature. In the absence of such a distribution system, increasing the surface temperature of the fruit little by little according to the distribution path, such as 0℃ storage → 10℃ storage → 15℃ transportation → room temperature sales, does not generate water droplets, which can prevent decay.
