Thanks for the comment Juicer. I’ve been trying to wash and prepare produce so I’ll eat it. If I have to wash, peel and chop when I’m hungry things are much more likely to linger in the fridge and eventually spoil. I’m also a big fan of salad dressing as dip 🙂

Oh I see. Thanks for the clarification. In that case they definitely sound like they extended your produce. If you try any experiments let me know. Apples typically stay fresh for quite awhile. I think it would be interesting to try something like strawberries, which turn much more quickly.

I don’t think I was clear in what I was trying to say. The bags actually worked well. The apples didn’t get mealy until after they would have gone bad in regular bags. They were good to eat fresh for about 8 months, and it was only after that they began to dry out. The bag did prevent them from rotting or getting overripe, but they did get old eventually (not caused early by the bag).

I wondered about those bags too. Doesn’t sound like they worked if they made your fruit all mealy. I think I’ll wait on buying anything special and just try to buy less fruits and veggies when I’m at the store.

I found the bags worked pretty well. I kept apples in them, and they stayed edible (not rotten, but not really fresh, got kinda mealy and only useable for cooking) for more than a year.

I never tried them for anything else, and I think they kind of got hidden at the back of a drawer or something. I should probably pull them out and use them with this summer’s produce, maybe do some side by side tests.
