Product Review: Clearly Fresh Bags

One of the downfalls in living in the South is that except for local produce, a LOT of our fruit and veggies get trucked in, which means they have a short shelf life. I don't know about you, but we try to put our produce in produce bags, so they last longer, so we get our money's worth.


We recently got to try a new product line: Clearly Fresh bags. They are a re-closeable bag with a breathable membrane, that keeps fruits and veggies fresh for up to 50% longer than traditional storage methods. 





Clearly Fresh bags are large clear zip bags (12” X 14”), with a breathable 3 inch square membrane on one side. Each pack of bags contains 10 bags. The large size, allows you to store an entire bunch of bananas, or a whole head of lettuce with room to spare. PLUS the bags are re-closeable and recyclable.



Here is a list of some of the items Clearly Fresh works best on:
• Bananas  • Avocados • Apples  • Mangos   • Carrots   • Peppers   • Lettuce • Cucumbers
What makes Clearly Fresh bags unique is the use of BreatheWay technology. BreatheWay allows fresh fruits and vegetables to create their own ideal atmospheres for natural storage life extension. Simply place fresh produce items in the Clearly Fresh bag when returning from grocery shopping; store in your standard fashion (i.e.: lettuce in the refrigerator, bananas on the counter).

As long as we made sure the seal was under the bananas, they stayed fresh! Now on smaller items in the fridge, they stayed shut and really kept the peppers, celery and green onions really fresh! They really did seem to respond to the fruit or veggie in them, and react appropriately, keeping them fresh a lot longer than without the bag! Celery, lettuce, and green onions kept the best we found!


While we appreciated the larger size bags, I wish they had a multi-size bag bundle. On smaller items, like green peppers and avocados, a quart size would have worked better. Ass a zip close and I wouldn't use anything else! At under $4 a bag, they are still a great buy and we highly recommend them!
