Extending Produce "shelf" life
Posted by: Anonymous User ()

Hi there!

I hope you all are having a happy day today and will find things of wonder and beauty and humor to enjoy.

Something I "found" at the grocery SEEMS to be working well to keep my fruits and vegetables from ripening too fast.

I have tried those green "20-bags for $9.99" (marketed with a woman's name on them) but even though they are supposed to be reusable, and I have reused them after washing and drying, they seem expensive to me because I do not always reuse each bag numbers of times.

So at the grocery this past week-end, I "found" a major brand name zip-bag manufacturer has reusable 1.25 gallon Fruit & Veggie "Fresh Extend" bags ~ 12 per box for $2.29. They aren't as dark green in color as those other bags. I've got one of the new bags containing 4 zucchinis, another is holding 2 avocados and a third, some yellow peaches. All that produce is looking and feeling very good so I would say these work.

Just thought I'd let you know as nothing aggravates me more than bringing produce home that "goes" before I can use it (hate waste).

All best wishes to you!

Thanks!
I might try them.

I currently use regular zip-loc bags.
I wash all my produce,spin dry,then put loosely in the bags.
I can get at least a week from a head of romaine lettuce in my fridge.
