Debbie Meyer GreenBags

I have been using Debbie Meyer Greenbags for 15-20 years and some of the bags I still have are almost that old and still work. Of course, all fresh produce has an end date no matter how you store them, but these bags definitely reduce the spoilage and most last more than twice the time they would without these bags. Although these bags do greatly increase the storage time for fresh produce, it does help to know how to store the various types of produce. First of all, moisture is a detrimental for all types of storage whether fresh or frozen. Too much air in a package will also cause produce to spoil more quickly. In addition, some fresh produce lasts longer when stored in the refrigerator and others do better left on the countertop. Although these bags can magically make fresh produce last longer, this magic is somewhat dependent on your knowledge of how to store various type of fresh produce. For example, tomatoes and cucumbers are best stored at room temperature. When kept in the refrigerator, they quickly become mushy and tasteless. Summer squash, such as zucchini and yellow squash is best kept in the refrigerator as are cool weather veggie greens such as spinach, kale, collards, cauliflower, broccoli, etc. Herbs, such as basil, will quickly wilt in the refrigerator, whereas dill will last longer when kept at a cooler temperature. In all cases, the produce and herbs should be as dry as possible before putting them into the bags, and then as much air as possible should be removed from the bags before using a twist tie to close them. I grow most of our veggies indoors and currently have zucchini and yellow squash in these bags that I harvested over 3 weeks ago that are still as fresh as the day I harvested them. My tomatoes are good for at least 3 weeks after I harvest them, but they are left on the counter. After the bags are empty, I half fill them with water, hold the top closed to slish the water in them, dump the water, and dry them as much as possible with a kitchen towel. Then, I sit them upright and open to dry completely. Once they are completely dry, I fold them and put them away for the next use. Although these bags will incredibly decrease the spoilage of fresh produce, they cannot be expected to compensate for lack of knowledge about the food storage and how to store different types of fresh food. Success in food storage does depend somewhat on your knowledge of storing fresh produce of different types. I, personally, will continue to use these bags and bought a new set only because I discovered some of the bags I have had holes in them from stems of the veggies stored. I hope this review was helpful for you.

These bags are amazing for keeping food fresh. I have used them for many years. I like the 3 sizes. They clean easily. I dry them before storing them. Excellent product in all ways.

I love these bags and what a great value! They rinse nice and easy, and fold up perfectly. They keep produce fresh a lot longer..and in these economic times that's a big plus for me.

Seems to perform as advertised. Works on bananas

These green bags really do make my produce last longer which saves me money. They are reusable too, which make their purchase price even more affordable in the long run. They are sturdy and the various sizes are a real plus.

We use these exclusively on our produce and are very pleased with the outcome. They do prolong the life of our fruits and vegetables in the fridge.

These green bags are excellent. They definitely keep my fruit & vegetable fresh They can be rinsed & reused with no problem. A nice variety of sizes for your needs.

These bags I have used for years to keep fruits & vegetables fresh for weeks. There is nothing else out there comparable to the the quality. Each bag is suggested to use 8 times, but have used longer. After each use, turn bag inside out and rinse in cold water (no soap), dry and reuse. The best!

Son bolsas muy durables y verdaderamente conservan en buen estado vegetales y frutos

I have been re-using the GreenBags I got in the US for about 10 years in Australia. They keep my lettuce and cilantro fresh for many days, but they were getting worn out. I needed new ones and found them on Amazon. Terrific! I'll be back for more . . . in a few years.

i have used these bags for the last ten years and replaced them when needed they do what they say unbelievable would not be with out them

I have used her products for many years and I believe these are what they say they are! I’m vegetarian and I consume a lot of vegetables, so these keep them fresh and juicy! When I bring my veggies home from the store, I wash them in vinegar and let them sit for a bit in the vinegar solution then drain the water and let them sit in the sink until most of the moisture falls off and then I bag them in these bags or her containers (I use both!) and my veggies last for weeks! Friends always comment on how delicious my salads are and I attribute this to my fresh, juicy vegetables because of Debbie’s product! Thank you!

Thee bags are terrific. Better than eco egg. Arrived very quickly.
