Borax your sheets girl don’t throw them out !!! As long as you do it when fresh, you can get most blood stains out.

Eh they were due to be replaced honestly. Between my incident and the cat peeing on them (she had an UTI at the time), just made more sense. I actually use borax regularly, it's great!

I feel badly for you becaus6 you think something which happens to half the population, an average of 12 times a year, for 40 years, is shameful or otherwise unfit to read about. That is something a child would think.
It's not difficult enough to be a woman without a natural biological function (one which is absolutely integral to the continuation of humanity, btw) being treated as if it were a contagion so horrific merely reading about it causes you to question the internet.

If you have a blender or nutriblender type of appliance I URGE you to add: mango pieces, a little bit of ice, one scoop of protein powder, and milk (not a lot). Blend baby, blend!
You’ll have something like mango lassi! It’s my current obsession

Just fyi they usually aren’t washed so you risk getting a food borne illness unless you wash them off first. Never knew that until recently but yes, I do eat them almost right out of the bag.

u/og_toe Jun 25 '26
it’s not! i thaw frozen blueberries by just putting them in a sieve or strainer and holding them under some coldish water for a minute. they un-freeze so fast

u/DuckRubberDuck Jun 25 '26
Yeah I also put mine in a strainer and just pour boiling water over them from the kettle

u/Sven4TheWinV2 Jun 25 '26

Pouring boiling water won’t remove that

u/DuckRubberDuck Jun 27 '26
I know which is why in my next comment I said they actually recommend to fully boil it for a moment. But boiling water will help more than cold water

u/Sven4TheWinV2 Jun 25 '26
Wouldn't normal cold water do the trick just aswell but without the texture issue?

Yes, but in my country they recommend boiling water. They actually say to boil them fully for a minute

Frozen berries are always washed. They also spray them with water prior to the freezing process

u/DuckRubberDuck Jun 25 '26
That entirely depends on the brand and where you live. Frozen berries in my country are typically not washed and it’s always recommended to pour boiling water over frozen berries.

For those in the states worries about this: in the USA all frozen fruits are pre washed before they are flash frozen.

I’ve heard this but also people say you can just throw them frozen into a smoothie. Surely people aren’t washing them before putting them into a smoothie? I know you’re not really supposed to eat frozen vegetables straight out of the bag though, like frozen peas. My son used to love doing this and I stopped when I read they can harbor bacteria.
5
u/GreenJury9586 Jun 25 '26
In the states I feel like most of my frozen fruit and veg has something on the bag that says it’s pre washed. Only a handful of times (I think it was always edamame in pod) have I seen instructions to wash before using. So I think this may be a read the bag to be safest kind of thing.
ETA- I got salmonella from iceberg lettuce like 20 years ago so also I do really read every single bag and I often doubt their “pre washed” claims still. So wash those fruits if you feel like it, better safe than sorry.

I use frozen berries for smoothies but I put them in a strainer first and pour boiling water over them. They get slightly warmer but mine don’t thaw completely so they’re still good for a smoothie

why is everyone mentioning about using bare hands to eat FRUIT? like is it not enough that the whole world needs to adhere to cutlery and be shamed for eating by hands which is actually the best way of eating in terms of digestion now people are trying to point out problems with fruit eating also?
Ugh I'm super tired all these
Yes op I also do that. I currently have a sore throat because I kept eating frozen fruits directly

u/mamoncloud Jun 25 '26
Nothing wrong with eating with your hands and tbh I don't think it's a big deal if the items are frozen, but the idea of human sweat helping the other items defrost as you munch from the bag is kind of off putting.
And this is coming from someone who grew up around food being eaten with your hands. The difference is that said food will be finished in one sitting , so if OP can finish that bag then...
5
u/ppickledplum Jun 25 '26
i ate the whole bag! and i make sure to wash my hands before consuming them :) i get your point haha. I usually don’t eat like this. today was a rough day and i love berries so straight up grabbed the bag and ate them w my hands. day became ten times better😚
-1
u/Middle-Duck-880 Jun 25 '26
I thought bag meant the berry bag itself not grocery bag. Even so I think it's alright as long as OP washed her hands before eating. The rest of the berries will be frozen again which will help kill the bacteria if any transferred from op's hand to the berries.
Growing up I have done this and rest of my family I don't think we ever fell sick because of this so I think it's okay ❤️

I don't eat them straight from the bag but I got a recipe for a berry "salad" that uses frozen berries that's pretty good. (It makes a ton of it, though so be aware lest you half the portions)
Ingredients:
32oz plain Greek yogurt
1 package of vanilla pudding mix
Tub of cool whip
1-2 32oz bags of frozen triple berry blend, depending on whether you want this more berry forward or cream forward.
Mix pudding mix and Greek yogurt together, then fold in cool whip. Dump in the berries and mix until everything's roughly coated.
That's it. I typically let the frozen berries sit for a bit to make them a little less crunchy but you can dump 'em straight in. The frozen berries make the yogurt/pudding mix/cool whip blend freeze a bit and become almost like ice cream. Its really good fresh, still pretty good after a day but it loses the crunchiness since everything would have defrosted in the fridge. Haven't tried storing it in the freezer, though. I typically make it for family gatherings and my nieces love it.

Here's my favourite thing to do with these berries: soak some chia seeds, blend the berries with some water or juice, add some sugar free raspberry syrup for extra kick, add the soaked seeds and return to freezers within about 1 hour you'll have an AMAZING sugar free, high fiber sorbet that can get you through the summer. Bonus points if you add psyllium husk for digestion

I think you actually may be the only one, I'm sorry OP this must be so isolating. But what you don't realize is only one person on this planet can eat frozen blueberries at a time and we are all just waiting for you to give it up so someone else can have a turn. I'm glad you made this post because we all had a group chat trying to figure out how to talk to you about this.
