While regular fresh blueberries must be rinsed well in water and a cursory inspection for maggots is required, ORGANIC BLUEBERRIES have been found to be very infested and the cRc recommends that they should be avoided altogether. U-pick farms are using fewer pesticides than commercially sold berries. Therefore, the cRc recommends that berries from U-pick farm should be soaked and agitated vigorously in a solution of water with soap or veggie wash before use. Additionally, one should cut open a handful of blueberries to check for any worms that might be present.
