These work! I'm so excited about strawberries lasting more than 5 seconds in the refrigerator. Pick yourself up a pack. You won't regret it!

I use these for bulk items that can't go in my mesh bags like cornmeal, oatmeal etc. Very durable. I don't have to use the grocery store bags, now.

    "The most technically advanced vegetable bag on the market..." - The Chicago Tribune

    "The bags slow down the ripening process and keep foods fresh longer." - The New York Times

    About the bags
    These ingenious green produce bags offer a natural way to absorb the enzyme-producing gases that cause vegetables to deteriorate. Debbie Meyer Green Bags (formerly known as Evert-Fresh Green Bags) are made from low density-polyethylene that is coated with a fine layer of natural clay containing high levels of a mineral proven to absorb ethylene gas. (When produce ripens it emits ethylene which speeds up the ripening / rotting process).

    Using Debbie Meyer Green Bags can extend the life of produce 3 to 10 times. Perhaps it's so hard to find these at grocery stores because using them cuts down on wasted fruits and vegetable waste, which means you buy less. Debbie Meyer Green Bags can help you avoid throwing away uneaten produce -- saving you money and while helping cut down on waste. Green Bags can also play a role in lowering your carbon footprint since less waste leads to buying less, and making fewer trips to the grocery store and/or market.

    Debbie Meyer's trademarked, green-colored bags also naturally cuts down on damaging effects of UV rays resulting in far less vitamin loss.

    Reusing Debbie Meyer Green Bags
    Each bag has the capacity to absorb ethylene 8-10 times. To reuse, simply rinse with water only (no soap) and let thoroughly dry (we recommend turning inside out to dry) After 8-10 uses we suggest you continue to reuse the bag as a produce bag especially for items you plan on eating quickly and/or are not prone to rapid decomposition.

    Reducing food waste helps limit greenhouse gases
    Food waste produces methane (a greenhouse gas) when it decays in landfills. Reduce your food waste and you help limit this gas. Plus, by wasting less you’ll also help decrease the energy and materials needed to produce, package and transport food – all which add to greenhouse gas production. In fact, in the UK alone, food transport accounts for 25% of all the miles driven by large vehicles!

    Product Use Tips:
  • Store produce in a cool, dry and dark place.
  • Don't crowd or combine different product in same bag.
  • Be sure to rinse bags after each use and dry thoroughly.
  • If excess moisture is present, dry produce thoroughly and place in dry green bag with natural paper towel or coffee filter.
  • For best results, keep bags shut by tying in a knot or securing with a clothes pin.

    Story Behind The Bags
    Scientists involved in Antarctic exploration were searching for ways to prolong the freshness of produce. During their research, they found a region in Japan where for thousands of years farmers have been storing produce in mountain caves with amazing results.

    The caves were dark, consistently cool, and dry. But it was discovered that the key to the remarkable preserving properties of the caves was a clay called "oya," and the cave mountain was made of it. The oya absorbed the ethylene gas that produce gives off as it matures. Debbie Meyer Green Bags combine ancient knowledge thousands of years old with space age technology for preserving produce. All that, in a simple, green bag.

    Cool Fact
    The active ingredient in Debbie Meyer Green Bags is recommended by the United States Department of Agriculture in its Handbook #668 to counteract the negative effects of ethylene gas on fresh fruits and vegetables.

    by Nancy F - 08/2009

    I have used these bags for sometime now and have mixed thoughts. Cut cukes and any other "wet" produce get slimy just as quickly as with regular store plastic bags, but I was sold when I put a cut avocado in the bag and it was still green (no brown!) after one week. I agree with other customers though about the time of use; it's hard to keep track. I think many of mine are getting overused so they have not worked as well lately.

    by tina b - 07/2009

    I see some reviews that are stating these bags did not work for them. I don;t see how that can be. You must be buying produce that is not fresh. Bananas will last me a week. Brocolli 2 weeks without being limp or turing yellow, lettuce 2-3 weeks. THe key may be NOT WASHING your produce before you put it in the bag. I wash mine before I use it. I have saved so much money using these bags.

    by Sharon E. A - 07/2009

    The green bags are life savers for my produce, particularly for bananas. I live alone so food can go to waste pretty easily; using the bags prevents rapid spoilage.

    by Kenneth R - 06/2009

    I've used these bags for a some time since I made the mistake of purchasing a large number of them. I find them to be no better for storing produce than ordinary plastic produce bags. Simply rinsing and reusing plastic bags for produce storage works for me.

    by Sarah M - 06/2009

    Have used these bags on several different types of produce - *extremely ripe* nectarines, red peppers and cucumbers and they have worked great. They wash up nicely also. I'm looking forward to preventing lots of wasted produce in the future.

    by patricia s - 06/2009

    I love these things - I can keep produce fresh several days longer than I used to. This is a big help when you live several miles from the nearest market, the price of gasoline is high and you are on social security.

    Well, the bananas spoiled in one day, the cucumber

    by Paloma S - 06/2009

    Well, the bananas spoiled in one day, the cucumbers got fuzzy in three days, and the tomato developed a full beard after a week, and it was in the fridge! Pre-bag, the tomatoes would keep for over a week on a kitchen shelf! I have always avoided "as seen on TV" because that usually means over-priced and worthless, and this, once again, proved me right.

    by Wendy M - 02/2009

    These bags are fantastic. I have almost no waste anymore - food stays fresh in the fridge the way it should be. Especially great for when I have to buy from the grocery store, whose veggies are older and more likely to spoil.

    We were skeptical but these really do work! Spinach, peppers, etc all stay fresher, longer.

    This is not a gimmick

    by Seth L - 01/2009

    This is not a gimmick. They actually keep lettuce fresher in the fridge for a longer period of time. I eat more greens now because they are fresh there in the bag ready to go. Do not be put off by the dreaded "As seen on TV" graphic. They work and work well. The best testimony that I can give is that when these run out I am going to buy more. Would keep lettuce without them
