Product Details

About the bags
These ingenious green produce bags offer a natural way to absorb the enzyme producing gases that cause vegetables to deteriorate. Evert Fresh 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 Evert-Fresh bags can extend the life of produce 3 to 10 times. Perhaps it's so hard to find these at grocery stores since using them enables you to cut down on wasted fruits and veggies, resulting in having to buy a lot less. Evert Fresh bags can help you avoid throwing away uneaten produce -- saving you money and while helping cut down on waste. Evert Fresh 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.

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

Reusing Evert-Fresh 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 Evert-Fresh 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. Evert-Fresh 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 Evert Fresh 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 Liz W - 06/2008

    I take these bags with me to the grocery store to use as produce bags. They aren't as heavy as the cotton bags, so they're less likely to add to the cost of the item, and I don't have to take them out of one bag and put them in another when I get home. I've also found that they last much longer than the 8-10 uses they're advertised to have. I have some that I bought several years ago that are still doing their job.

    by Donna M - 06/2008

    The green bags are outstanding. I no longer throw away overly ripe bananas... the bananas last twice as long! Did not like the taste the bags gave to strawberries, but so far everything else works incredibly well with these bags.I am now giving them as gifts!

    by Jill G - 06/2008

    I tried the bags on a box of strawberries and on bananas. I made sure to not to wash them. I did not think the bags prolonged the life of the product at all. In fact I thought they turned bad sooner than when they are in the open air. Sorry.

    I love these bags

    by Jennifer S - 06/2008

    I love these bags. They do an excellent job of keeping food fresh. I use them very sparingly though, only for berries and other such delicate foods that spoil quickly, because they're still plastic bags that you eventually have to throw away when they're too worn to function. I hate to even buy them, but they do work as promised. I may just start freezing things that delicate, so I'm not buying more plastic bound for landfills.

    If you haven't tried them, you must!

    by Stephanie A - 06/2008

    If you haven't tried them, you must! They have already saved me quit a bit of money. Vegetables really do last that much longer. I even gave it the banana test, they lasted longer, too!

    They're not as good as expected, but they do keep foods fresher for a longer period of time than clear plastic bags.

    Great idea because they actually do work

    by Amanda B - 03/2008

    Great idea because they actually do work...the fruit or veggies last a significantly longer time...but the large bags are impractical. They are too large for just about any item and they are impossible to clean. Additionally they take forever to dry. I would try a smaller bag next time.

    A very good product, especially to prolong the life of bananas and other fruit kept at room temperature. Highly recommended, we have been using this product for quite some time.

    by Lillian D - 03/2008

    I use the large size less often than the others, but when the extra size is needed this bag is great. The green bags do all that was advertised and save me money in the long run. I have to drive a distance to the grocery store and the green bags allow less trips.

    by Cecily G - 03/2008

    So far, I haven't seen any difference between using these bags and using nothing at all. In fact, my bananas seemed to turn brown much quicker than usual.
