Others say...
"Debbie Meyer's Green Bags" These bags definitely help to keep fruits and vegetables fresher longer. I go to the farmer's market every week or two and bring home quite a bit. I am not throwing away food like I was. So they are helping me to stretch my food budget. "Green Bags goes the mile" The Green Bags are one of the best investments I have made. I have a head of lettuce in one right now that has been there for 9 days and there is no rust colored markings anywhere on the head. As long as you remember of wipe the moisture from the inside of the bags, they will keep produce fresh for an incredibly long time. "Terrible waste of money!!!" My fruits and veggies have been in these bags for 4 days and they are all rotten and mildewed! My bananas have never turned this fast (they're black!), my fresh, crisp cucumbers are now soggy and white with mildew, my broccoli is black and slimy... after 4 DAYS!!! I made sure that my produce was dry before placing in the bags. Not only is it a waste of money for these bags, but now I have to throw out over $100 of produce after 4 days, I'm livid! I can't find a number on the package to call, if anyone has one, please let me know! "They work great! " Perhaps saying things last a month would be stretching it, but I get 2 to 3 weeks extra! My mushrooms, onions, peppers, apples, avocados, and celery last so much longer. These bags save a lot of trips to the market to get fresh fruits and vegatables. "BUYER BEWARE!" When I learned how they work, I thought, "Won't the ethylene gas the produce give off get trapped in the bag? How will they stay fresher longer, then?" Bur I decided to give them a try anyway. I mean, they have to work or they wouldn't sell, right? Well, BUYER BEWARE! The fruit did stay looking pretty much longer than it's original shelf life, but when I opened up the fruit, it was spoiled on the inside! And it spoiled much faster than without the bag (but they looked perfect on the outside). All the fruit, veggies, and greens were wasted. And all the money I spent on the food and the bags, too! So I guess that verified my initial theory of trapped ethylene gas. Seems like it's going to be another one of those fly-by-night make a quick buck schemes.

What our customer's say! "Useful in limited cases.", These bags can help with preserving fruits and vegetables, but first you need to understand the process of what is going on, and understand the MULTIPLE factors affecting your fruits and vegetables; read on to get this basic understanding. Practice a small amount of planning with your produce, and make sure you are storing your fruits and veges properly, and you can eat healthy, delicious, and fresh produce all week long, even with a single trip to the store! First of all, don't let your produce get warm. Shop for produce last, and go directly home with it. The warmer it gets, the faster it respires (breathes), the faster it ripens, and the sooner it eventually rots. You can also choose less ripe fruit, which will mean it lasts longer at home. Of course if you're going to eat it soon, look for the ripest produce. You can often buy very ripe fruits and vegetables at a discount from your grocer, which can save you money if you plan to eat them or cook them immediately. Look at the back of the produce section or ask. Farmers at the farmer's market will also be able to advise you which produce is ready to eat, and which needs a little more time. These fruits and vegetables will last a week or less: Artichokes Asparagus Avocados Bananas Basil Broccoli Cherries Corn Dill Green beans Mushrooms Mustard greens Strawberries Watercress These will last about a week: Arugula Cucumbers Eggplant Grapes Lettuce Lime Mesclun Pineapple Zucchini These will last up to a couple weeks if stored properly: Apricots Bell peppers Blueberries Brussels sprouts Cauliflower Grapefruit Leeks Lemons Oranges Oregano Peaches Pears Plums Spinach Tomatoes Watermelon These will last for several months, but are best within about one month: Apples Beets Cabbage Carrots Celery Garlic Onions Potatoes Winter squash The fresher your produce is when you buy will mean it lasts longer at home as well. That's why a farmer's market or CSA is a great bet for making your produce last - it is picked fresh the day you buy it, versus produce in the store which may have been picked green before traveling by truck or ship for days or weeks before you ever set eyes upon it. You can also use special discs or produce bags that absorb ethylene, the ripening gas. This can stop produce from ripening so quickly because when fruits and vegetables detect ethylene they begin to produce more of it. Of course ethylene can also be used to help produce ripen when you are eager to eat it. The old banana in a bag trick works because ripe bananas produce a lot of ethylene and will trigger whatever is in the bag with them to ripen and begin producing their own ethylene. Some high ethylene producing fruits should be refrigerated, whiles others shouldn't. Refrigerate these: Apples, Cantaloupe, Figs, and Honeydew. Don't refrigerate these: Avocados, Bananas, Nectarines, Peaches, Tomatoes, and Bell Peppers. High ethylene-producing fruits will be most extended by the "green bags," but only the ones that can be refrigerated! And some produce doesn't make much ethylene but is very sensitive to it. Keep these away from the gas producers above: Bananas (also need to stay at room temperature), Broccoli, Brussels sprouts, Cabbage, Carrots, Cauliflower, Cucumbers, Eggplant, Lettuce and other leafy greens, Parsley, Peas, Peppers (best at room temperature), Squash, Sweet potatoes (best at room temperature in winter only), Watermelon. "Debbie Meyer's Green Bags", I never fall for gimmicks, but I loved the idea behind this product, and saw it featured in one of my favorite magazines, so I took a chance. Well, I was taken. I've given this product a good month to work, on several different types of produce, and it just doesn't work. Don't waste you're money. "Horrible, adds chemical taste to food and spoiled very fast once out of bag", It added such a bad chemical taste to the food that I just threw out a bunch of food ... what a waste of money. I have never written a review but this product is so a waste of money, and you can't keep the bags dry no matter the claim to wipe it out. I'll have to check for a money back guarantee because this time I really want to get my money back. Yuck. "WASTE OF MONEY!", I'd give it no stars if that were an option. The bags actually made my tomatoes rot faster! The cucumber I tried made me gag after only a week in the bag. Don't waste your money! "the potential reason for the widely differing reviews", I tried this product myself, using various vegetables freshly purchased at the local farmer's market, as well as some from nearby supermarkets or natural, organic food market-like small stores. It seems that the supermarkets and the small stores regularly sprinkle water (and who knows what else, perhaps some kind of preservatives, or wax in the case of cucumbers, apples) on their products, to keep them fresh longer - or at least fresh looking. On the other hand, the farmer's market products even tend to dry out a little bit during the hot days of summer - so if you treat the products from the different sources similarly before placing them into the greenbags, you should not be surprised that moisture tends to accumulate in some cases, while in other cases, this is not such a big problem - that may give rise to widely different opinions on the outcome and success of the storage in these greenbags. In our case, the greenbags worked quite well for farmer's market products, for less than a week, and that's good enough for us. We can go to the farmer's market once a week, on Saturdays, but we did not like it that the products started to wilt/mold by Wednesday, Thursday, even in the refrigerator, even in plastic bags, or plastic containers. Supermarket and store-bought green products are different, most are oversaturated with water, perhaps that's why so many customers seem to be disappointed. 
Read this reviews before You buy... "Green Bags = soggy rotten fruits and veggies", I was very disappointed with this purchase. I tried using these for bananas, apples, oranges, blueberries, strawberries, onions and broccoli. The result was not prolonged freshness but damp produce, which ended up rotten MUCH sooner than other storage methods. "just OK", These bags were adequate for some things and useless for others. More of a disappointment than a blessing "Over priced shipping", I ordered these bags and when the shipping cost appeared at over 8o% of the total purchase for the bags I immediately called with my confirmation number to stop the order. They shipped them anyway and I am outraged that I am unable to get my money back and I haven't even received them yet. I wish I had not ordered these bags. After reading these 1 star rated reviews I wish even more that I had not ordered them. "I think they are fantastic!", I was extremely skeptical until I saw my daugher using them when I visited her. I don't know if they last 30 days, but I was there for 2 weeks and the strawberries were just as fresh as when I first arrived. They weren't molded or anything inside or out. The bananas were still yellow and good on the inside after a week. These are things that normally spoil quickly. I bought some when I got home, and my very ripe peaches are still just the way I bought them 6 days ago, ripe and juicy without becoming mushy. Remember to wash your fruits and vegetables before you use them and don't put them wet into the bag! "Total scam!", This product is a total scam. I bought them (not through Amazon) and my mother, sister and I tested them. We found that it gets so moist in the bag that the food went bad FASTER! Granted, they do warn you that you need to wipe out the bags because moisture "may" accumulate - but after all that work, which we were all willing to do to see if there was any truth to this *magic* bag, only to find the food was no better than the test group on the counter or in the crisper. What a waste - I would not bother with these. |
