Freezing Berries for Smoothies & Baking: Eco-Friendly Storage Tips

Preserve Summer’s Sweetness with Biotuff

Berries are one of the easiest fruits to freeze, and when you do it right, you can enjoy their fresh flavour in smoothies, baking, and desserts all year round. But freezing fruit doesn’t have to mean using plastic freezer bags that harm the environment.

With Biotuff’s certified compostable freezer bags, you can preserve your berries sustainably — keeping them fresh while reducing plastic waste. Here’s how to do it the right way, with a little eco-friendly help.

🫐 Step 1: Wash, Dry & Pre-Freeze

Start by gently rinsing your berries under cold water and laying them out on a clean towel to dry completely. Excess moisture can lead to freezer burn.

Once dry, line a baking tray with Biotuff’s Compostable Cling Wrap and spread the berries in a single layer. This pre-freezing step stops them from clumping together in storage.

🧊 Step 2: Portion & Store in Biotuff Freezer Bags

Once the berries are frozen solid, transfer them into Biotuff Compostable Freezer Bags. These bags are plant-based, Australian-certified compostable, and designed for freezer use — meaning your berries stay fresh without creating plastic waste.

Be sure to label the bag with the date and berry type.
