Answers:
That's how all berries are after you freeze them, it's okay to use them in recipes, just don't squeeze out all the juice, or you'll lose most of your flavor.
yeah that happens.. the ones you buy frozen are frozen really fast so they dont go as mushy. sorry dont know any tricks to freezing berries
unfortunately, there's not much you can do to keep berries from getting softer once they have thawed...
When you take berries out of the freezer, either eat them while they're partially frozen, or make a compote, pie, or cobbler out of them.
That's because the cell walls of fresh fruit are fragile and they rupture when the water in them freezes and expands.
of course they are mushy by frezzing you have crystalized their molecular structure and in doing so when they thaw they get mushy if you are looking for harder fruits you would have to make them flash frozen wich would require a blast freezer but just a note the fruits even mush should be very tasty
hi my name is billie, how are you today. i,m a chef this is what you do when you buy the berries take them out of the bag put them in a plastic container put in in the freezer that will keep them fresh not mushy but you must put a date on it when you buy them after the date is up they will go bad. anymore info e-mail me billiegotmail@yahoo.com bye billie
Any fresh fruit will get freezer burn and may not be edible after the thaw.. Never freeze unless its prepared for the freezer:
