Peak Fresh produce bags remove ethylene gas to prolong the life and freshness of produce, more than doubling the life expectancy of refrigerated fruits and vegetables. Most fruit and vegetables release ethylene gas after harvest. Exposure to the gas accelerates aging in fruit and vegetables (the expression one bad apple spoils the barrel comes from this process). Unlike ordinary plastic bags, Peak Fresh produce bags breathe so that damaging gases produced by the fresh produce are removed. Our bags minimize moisture formation and inhibit bacteria growth which helps maintain fruit and vegetables at their peak. Our bags maintain Vitamin C levels. To use the produce bag, pre-cool warm fruit and vegetables in refrigerator before storing in bag. Use a separate bag for each type of produce. Produce to be stored should be fresh, dry and undamaged. Expel air from the bag and close using the enclosed ties and store in the refrigerator. Bags should be washed and dried thoroughly before re-use and can be re-used for up to two months. Keep bags away from fire and children.

Works Just as they are meant to! Mar 08, 2012
By Kylie Lundry These bags do a fine job of protecting fruits and vegetables and preserves them so they last much longer than if you were to just sit them out on the counter and let the moisture get to them. I also like the idea of being able to clean them and re-use them multiple times, very easy to clean too! I also recommend and think very highly of 25 6x9" Silver Zip Lock Foil Stand Up Bag Pouches for storing my grains and spices. Also reusable, and I really like that they stand up by themselves for easy storing.

Excellent Jan 16, 2010
By CHK This is the product I waited for.
The work excellent for me. Especially tomatos and bananas last much longer. No more wreckled bananas, no more wrinkled tomatos. Both I store outside the fridge. Red peppers are still to eat after 4 weeks. My parents told me about a salad the stored in the bags and went on holidays for some weeks - after return the salad was still usable after removing the outer leaves. The most important is to get your produce as fresh as possible. E.g. if you get prepack produce it might be just before it's life end and if you try to store it of course it will only last for a short periode.
Furthermore I am happy to get this product also in Europe now. There is a German site [...] - and they ship within Europe - no need to get ist from U.S. anymore.

Works great; wash and use again and again, durable, don't hesitate with this purchase Jun 06, 2009
By Fancy Trimmins My brother and I decided to try 2 different brands of these bags. He went with the Debbie Meyer and I tried these. (Ok, so he makes a lot more $ than I do!!!). We started on the same day with the same fruit and produce in them and kept monitoring to see which one worked best. They are still both going strong and neither he or I have experienced any spoiled fruit or veggies in almost 2 months. They work so well, we decided to share our quantities with one another just for the bag color difference. We will both purchase THIS product in the future in various sizes. No need to pay more. One clue: trick to keeping condensation from forming inside bag (which rots the food) is to place a few crumpled up paper towels in the bag with the food. Also, I don't close the bag up real tight, but rather scrunch the top together but put it loosely in the frig or on the counter. This way no moisture builds up inside the bag from the gases being released from the food and I don't have to keep wiping the 'wet' from the inside of the bag.
Edit: Nov 2, '09-it has been several months since original purchase of this product and I have finally thrown out the original few bags I used at the onset. Not because they are no longer working effectively, but they have become a bit ratty looking from all the washing, rinsing and re-use. If all the bags in this small box last this long, purchasing this product once/year with just 10 bags is a dream come true. (thinking of giving brother some more for Christmas (giggle)- he'll be set for life! ;)

OFF THE CHARTS - Used same order for 4 MOS+ Jul 11, 2010
By Lori J. Munn

I have used the "advertised" competition which doesn't even get close. I buy my vesgies direct from the farm once a week. I am raw vegan and love my vegies FRESH - it keeps Kale, Carrots, Onions, Ginger and CILANTRO, which I love and on and one...a WEEK LATER everything is still fresh. LOVE THESE BAGS AND ORDERING MORE

Peak Fresh Re-Usable Produce Bags Works! Apr 09, 2009
By M. Yoke I love this stuff, vegetable and fruit do last longer and fresher in the bag. I also use it for bananas on the kitchen counter. We don't waste our veges/fruit since I started using the bags, so we are saving money. You can wash and reuse bags again and again.
