Store in thin layers with a dry paper towel under them, in air tight
container.

Whenever I store berries (strawberries, raspberries, etc.) in the
refrigerator, a fuzzy mold starts growing on them. What can I do to
extend the berries shelf life in a fresh state?
Thanks for any suggestions.

Canisters for a vacuum sealer will help, but not a cure all. Eat them faster
has been the best for me over the years.

Don;t use a sealed container but one with some ventilation. Do not wash
until just before eating.

berries go furry in 5 to 7 days if left in the tight packed container they
come in. If you remove them from the container and spread them out on a
parchment paper lined sheet trays or cookie trays, they will stay fresh for
many more days. We pick the good berries at the first sight of fuzz and
freeze them to be turned to sauce later.
