New Produce Storage Bags
I have always enjoyed a trip to one of the local Chicagoland Jewel stores for some fresh fruit and veggies. I am a fan of salds too but I haven’t been buying all the lettuce and toppings much latley because I found that I would eat about 1/2 of it and then it would all go bad. And vegetables and produce are expensive! I have paid up to 10 bucks for a medium size bag of grapes or 3-4 tomatoes. You really can’t afford to throw out 1/2 of what you buy in fruit and veggies and at the same time it’s hard to finish them if you aren’t home a lot. It isn’t very cost effective to always eat out either. At that rate I may as well throw out 1/2 of my store bought items.
Anyway, I saw a commercial for these new plastic produce freshness bags called a Green Bag and I wonder if they really work? Do they really keep the fruit and vegetables from going bad so quickly? How long do they last for? Are there any scary chemicals happening here? I haven’t tried them yet, but it looks interesting. It is definitley the kind of product that when it shows up in the jewel isle I will end up tossing it in my cart just to find out. I think we really want the kitchen of the future and think that better living is really possible throgh new technology. We will see if this lives up to it’s claims.
