The Trick to Keeping Produce Fresh Longer

keep produce fresh longer with OXO Good Grips GreenSavers
I used to have such a love / hate relationship with my fruits and vegetables. They started out so fresh and lovely the day I bought them, but eventually they would shrivel up (or mold out) and end up in the trash, along with my guilty conscience. 

I wish I had known about this trick to extend the life of my fruits and veggies a long time ago, so I had more time to eat them, and stop with all the produce guilt!

My husband and I stumbled upon these little carbon filters one day and thought, what the heck, we can't lose by trying. And since tossing these in our crisper drawers, I kid you not, I haven't thrown out a single mushy fruit or vegetable! I'm just as shocked as you are!

A few reviewers have found the same positive results that I did:


"Put one of these into your container of fruit or veggies and it helps keep them fresher longer! I was so tired of throwing stuff away and this has helped immensely!"

"I use these in my refrigerator & they do work!" 

"These things help to keep your fruits & veggies from wilting & rotting…they sustain the life of your fruits & veggies 1-2 weeks longer" 

 

*And just a side note, OXO sells a "produce saver container" that you can put the little filters in, 

but we just bought the refills and toss one in each drawer and it works just fine. As long as you give them a little space to work, they last around 3 months.

Have you tried carbon filters to keep your fruits and veggies fresh longer? If not, I highly recommend these! You will be very pleasantly surprised at how much longer your fruits and veggies last!
