Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Debbie Meyer Green Bags
Customer Review: These bags work for me!
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought a package of the Debbie Meyer Green bags to see if I could help prevent the spoilage of vegetables in the crisper of my refrigerator. I am having a lot of trouble adjusting the temperature of my crisper and consequently, I lose a lot of produce. I have used them since Christmas.
I am using them to store red and green bell peppers, celery, green onions and mushrooms. So far, I have found that the mushrooms last at least 2 weeks without getting slimy, and the bell peppers do not spoil. I will see if they can keep the celery from going limp and the green onions from getting slimy.
I make sure the produce is dry before putting it in the green bag and then I just fold down the top.
I rinse the bags out and reuse them.
I have not used the bags for bananas as they never last long enough in my house to go bad.
After using the Green Bags for a month, I am very pleased with them and feel they met or exceeded my expectations.
Customer Review: All I buy is vegetables and these bags are great
Summary: 5 Stars
I've been doing a big shopping once every 2 weeks for years. I'm a vegetarian. I buy swiss chard, escarole, broccoli rabe, kale, lettuce, parsley and other green leafy vegetables each time. Other vegetables - eggplants, zucchini, bell peppers, etc always seem to hold up very well in the refrigerator for at least a week or more. If these types of vegetables are breaking down sooner, you might wonder how long they've been in your grocery store. The greens were the ones that would start to wilt, so I always used them up first. Since I've been using the green bags, every green leafy vegetable has held up - still looking like the first day I picked them up for at least 2 weeks or more. How many people hold onto their vegetables for more than 2 weeks anyway? For this period of time - or even a week longer - these bags are terrific. I haven't used a wilted vegetable in the many months since I've been using these bags - and I don't keep drying them out either.Customer Review: They do work!!!
Summary: 5 Stars
These bags really do work. they worked for me!! I had washed all my vegetables and then stored them in this bag. I followed the instructions -- Put the vegetables in the bag, fold the bag over, and store. The items lasted over 2 weeks more than regular.
Little Tomatoes: Lasted almost a month, saw no wrinkles, only 2 or so rotted from inside. But the rest were fine.
Bananas: Probably lasted one more week than usual but these did not do too well. They did rot from inside out.
Cucumber: Did extremely well. Stayed fresh for over a month.
Avacados: These did really well too. They stayed fresh almost a month. They started to go bad from inside as it stayed in the bag longer.
Grapes: Did not too well. They probably stayed one more week extra.
Overall, for $10.00(20 bags at walmart) these are a must buy. You will save much more in price as you will have to buy less.
Customer Review: Unbelievable product!
Summary: 5 Stars
We we have a vegetable garden this year and are really into fruit smoothies using strawberries, bananas, blueberries, etc., in our juicer, so I thought I'd try these bags in the interest of saving an over abundance of vegetables & fresh fruit. I'm sold on them! On May 28th, I placed fresh peaches, bananas, Romaine lettuce and giant artichokes in separate green bags. Today is July 21st and one artichoke looks exactly as it did the day I bought it. Same for some peaches, no less, which tend to ripen way too quickly before we can consume them. I've also reused a couple of bags and they're still going strong. I'm so amazed by this product that I make a point of checking the bags' contents daily thinking that SOMETHING should show signs of deterioration but every day I'm proven wrong. The only down-side to using the bags is that my compost pile is suffering! EXCELLENT value and I highly recommend.Customer Review: love them, on my second set!! $$ saver
Summary: 5 Stars
I am so surprised by all the people who say they don't work. These save me SO MUCH MONEY. You do need to follow the directions; don't put moist vegetables in there (i.e., don't rinse them first and then bag). I've been using them for over two years and at first I was skeptical but I can say that without a doubt, they extend the shelf life of produce in our fridge (I haven't tried using them for counter top storage). Works great on lettuce, broccolli, sweet peppers,squash, celery, carrots. We're a household of two so we don't go through vegetables quickly enough sometimes and I can't live without these bags. I'm sure there are other alternatives- anything that absorbs ethylene gas will work, I'm just in the habit of using these. I even use one ofthese as a bag for my cuttings from the ends of vegetables and then make a stock once a week.
