Review on πŸ‘œ Debbie Meyer GreenBags 20-Pack (8 Medium, 8 Large, 4 Extra Large) – Enhances Freshness of Fruits, Vegetables, and Cut Flowers, Long-lasting & Eco-friendly, BPA-Free, Made in USA by Mary Arakaki

Revainrating 5 out of 5

GreenBags aren't great for all types of food, but they're great for some when stored properly.

I've been using Debbie Meyer's Green Bags for about ten years and have seen first-hand which foods are preserved in Green Bags and which are spoiled. Berries like blueberries, strawberries, raspberries, and blackberries are best left in the rigid plastic containers they shipped in, as GreenBags will lock in moisture and mold within a few days. A pouch that touches their skin will form mold. Stone fruits like peaches, nectarines, plums, and apricots are best stored in a bowl or plate in the fridge, as mold will grow on them. In GreenBags, however, cherries stay fresh for weeks when left open to "breathe". Paper towels (so the products do not come into contact with the bag) are placed in the GreenBag and closed with a tie. Lettuce, dandelion, kale, mustard and beet leaves must be completely dry before being placed in the green bag and left open to "breathe". I have never put beets, radishes, turnips, carrots, potatoes, onions, garlic and ginger in GreenBag because root vegetables have such a long shelf life. I just put them loose in the bottom basket of my fridge. Three different sizes are a must as fresh herbs only require a medium sized bag and leafy greens such as chard bruises/tears when placed in anything smaller than a very large bag.
