Storage

Because the berries sit in coconut water and ice, it's best to eat this dish when made. The berries will become soggy and mushy if they sit in the coconut water for a long period of time.

If you do need to store, make sure to store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator. Note that the berries textures may change!

These ingredients don't stand up well to freezing. The texture of the berries will change!
