🍇 Lunchbox fruits that stay fresh and crisp

Soft berries look sad by noon when they stew against warm bread-but you don't have to ditch fruit altogether. A few swaps keep lunches colorful without soggy mishaps.

Separation saves texture

Dry compartments protect delicate pieces:

• Grapes, blueberries, melon cubes tolerate travel when liquid can't pool around crackers.
• Apple slices cling to crunch with a dab of citrus or tucking beside an airtight chilled pack.

Freeze the fruit ahead

Frozen grapes or melon chunks double as chilly packs earlier in the shift, then thaw for an afternoon treat-fine for kids old enough not to choke on round frozen pieces.
