Why store raspberries?
The key to storing any kind of berry is to keep it as dry as possible. If the berry is too wet, it will start to mold and spoil very quickly. Strawberries, raspberries and blackberries are particularly susceptible to mold because they are so delicate.
Place the berries in a single layer on a paper towel-lined plate or baking sheet. Let them sit at room temperature for about an hour to allow any moisture on the surface of the berries to evaporate.
Once the berries are dry, place them in a clean, dry container lined with paper towels or a clean dishcloth. Be sure to use a container that has plenty of ventilation, such as a colander or berry basket.
If you need to store the berries for more than a day or two, place them in the fridge. Berries will keep fresh in the fridge for about three days.
When to store raspberries?
It is best to store berries in the refrigerator as soon as possible after purchasing them. If you need to keep them for a day or two before using, store them in a colander or basket lined with paper towels, and place in the fridge.

Right away, spread out your berries on a kitchen towel or a few layers of paper towels and allow them to air-dry for about 15 minutes. This will help prevent mold.
Next, hull and wash your strawberries (remove the stem and leaves). Rinse under cold water, gently rubbing the berries with your fingers to release any dirt. Drain well in a colander set in the sink. Gently pat dry with a paper towel or clean kitchen towel.
