These bags really are amazing. I use them primarily for fresh herbs, which used to last a couple days at most in my fridge, now they last a week or more.

    "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

    Evert-Fresh Green Bags was purchased by Debbie Meyer Green Bags- therefore, this is the last of our stock.

    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). Each packet contains 10 medium 1 gallon bags measuring 7" X 17" X 5"

    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.
