The Ingenious $10 OXO Container That’ll Keep Your Berries from Going Bad

Food storage containers aren’t just handy for keeping our favorite foods fresh longer (and sparing us extra trips to the grocery store); they’re also perfect for tossing into your bag and taking on the move. Surprisingly, fruits and veggies shouldn’t linger in their original bags. Storing them this way is a no-go — and OXO’s solution is spot-on, a container that features a built-in colander for rinsing, straining, and storing with ease.

Forget the hassle of annoying post-grocery rinse-and-store routines; OXO’s prep-and-go container with a colander is the ultimate game-changer. Plus, its tight-sealing lid ensures freshness every time! Simply unload your berries, give them a rinse, pop them in the fridge, and hit the road. And when you’re done, toss this handy container in the dishwasher. Yes, it’s that easy.

Give your fridge a whole new meaning with this storage solution that keeps fruits and vegetables fresher for longer, thanks to its tightly sealed design and colander, which separates fruits — especially berries — from their own juices. The colander detaches from the container, so you can easily rinse your produce to get rid of dirt and grime. Even better — easily toss your berries in here to take with you as a snack on the go. Whether it’s to the park or your job site, this little container will get plenty of use.

“Love the size and included colander! I used this recently to take some cherries to a park playdate we had. I loved that I could quickly wash the fruit and throw it in the container knowing that the water will drain instead of needing to dry them off or have them sitting in a pool of water. The size is perfect for small snacking for kids or adults! Just the best for on the go and storage at home too!” — Suzanne
