Prolong Freshness with Bluapple VeggieZips Produce Storage Bags

by

Bluapple VeggieZips Produce Storage BagsLooking for a way to prolong the freshness of your fresh produce? Tired of throwing it away because you can’t eat it fast enough? If you answered YES, you’re going to love the product that we’re featuring today.

Let me introduce you to the VeggieZips with HydroLiners Produce Storage Bags from Bluapple. These produce bags are specially designed to prolong the life of your fresh produce and utilize patent-pending U-Vent Technology which controls the humidity, while the HydroLiner controls the moisture. This system allows for the perfect balance of humidity & moisture, while allowing the harmful ethylene gas to escape.

Each package comes with the special produce storage bags, a package of the HydroLiners sheets and a little instruction sheet which will help guide you on how to use them. In other words, it will tell you exactly how to store your lettuce, broccoli, cauliflower, carrots, tomatoes, spinach, etc. Sometimes you’ll need your HydroLiners sheet to be dry and at other times it needs to be dampened.

I received a complimentary box of the new VeggieZips Produce Storage Bags to try out for all of you. The first thing that I wanted to test them out on was our iceberg lettuce, which always seems to go bad within 3-4 days after I’ve purchased it.

I followed the directions on the instruction sheet (washed my lettuce, left the water drain a little bit, dampened the included HydroLiners sheet, wrapped the damp sheet around my lettuce and placed it all into the VeggieZips bag. I then placed it into my vegetable bin in my refrigerator. That’s it, super easy!

My results: Typically I’m tossing out iceberg lettuce on day 3 or 4, due to it wilting and turning brown. Since I’ve been storing my lettuce in the VeggieZips storage bags, I haven’t had to toss any! That’s right! It’s now lasting us at least a week (we typically have it all eaten about a week after we purchase it) and I haven’t thrown any away! Wow, I’m really impressed!

Now that we’re home from vacation, I’ll be loading up on fresh produce and trying the VeggieZips out on some strawberries, tomatoes, cucumbers, bell peppers, etc. I’m sure I’ll have just as fantastic results!

    I repinned Keep Butter Fresh at Room Temperature in the Sweese Butter Keeper Crock to my Interests board as jopb.

  9. Jennifer Tilson says

    I learned that the bags allow ethylene gas to escape keeping your produce fresher 3 times longer.

  12. Melissa Storms says

    I repinned your Stained Glass Mini Bird Feeder and Bird Bath pin from your Garden and Outdoor Spaces board.

  14. Melissa Storms says

    I am all for a product that helps produce last longer. I need to try the Bluapple too, I don’t live very close to any stores and try to buy produce for a week at a time which can be very tricky.

  17. Leela says

    Bluapple is designed to absorb ethylene gas from the typical home refrigerator for three months, however you may want to check the potency of the granules yourself. Heavy produce users may need to change their packet more often, while light produce users may see the potency of Bluapple lasting well over three months.

  19. Angela Saver says

    I learned that I can sign up for refilll alerts on Blue Apple! Thanks for a great giveaway!

  20. Deb E says

    I re-pinned Keep Produce Fresher Longer with The Bluapple #sponsored review. I really love their products and hope I win this!

  24. Margot C says

    I have never even seen these, I must have them! I read that the patent pending HydroVent Freshness System has U-Vent™ doors that open and close to support active plant respiration

  26. Darlene Carbajal says

    I learned that the U-Vent technology lets produce breathe by allowing air in and ethylene gas to escape.

  30. Dana Rodriguez says

    I saw they have a section on tips for storing different types of produce.

  33. Sarah L says

    The Bluapple® is designed to provide effective ethylene gas absorption for three months in a typical home refrigerator produce bin or storage container. The active ingredient does not “wear out”, but continues to absorb ethylene until it has reached its capacity. A One Year Refill Kit rounds out the Bluapple® ethylene gas management product line, allowing consumers to reuse Bluapples® and not add them to landfills.
    Thanks for the contest.

  34. ellen beck says

    I learned they also sell the blue apple. The blue apple and the bags absorb gasses that make produce spoil faster. I learned that the blue apple lasts typically for 3 months because after that it has reached absorbtion amounts. Pretty nifty.

  36. Darla Hobbs says

    I would love to try it on lettuce and cucumbers I hate throwing things out.

  39. Mia says

    I learned that there is a way to keep even bananas and avocados fresher for a longer period of time even though it is trickier. Avocados are stored in the fridge with bluapple and taken out as you want them.

  41. Cindy says

    VeggieZips™ & HydroLiners™ can be reused by gently washing with soap and warm water and then left to dry.

  42. heather says

    I went to the site and I learned you can save up to around $600 per year using this product. I also learned that it is made in the USA and that is super important to me.

  45. Kris I. says

    I would also love the blu apple; this looks amazing; i throw away so much produce that goes bad.

  46. Becca Z says

    I learned that you can get 2 Bluapples and one year of refills for only $17.99

  49. Deb E says

    I use the Bluapple now (the plastic blue apples not the bags) and it’s news to me that you can have them email you when it’s time to change the refill inside. I sort of guess but have many extra refills and extra Bluapples, so I’m thrilled to read about the bags. Maybe the bags can help me keep my cilantro longer. It only lasts a few days as is.

  50. Jo-Ann Brightman says

    The bags have U-Vent™ doors that open and close to support active plant respiration.

  51. Tamra Phelps says

    I pinned ‘How to Properly Store Extra Batteries’ from the board Lifestyle Tips. Pinterest name tamraphe

  54. Tamra Phelps says

    The actual ‘Blue Apple’ product looks pretty neat, too. It absorbs the ethylene gas that produce puts out & that way produce in your crisper isn’t absorbing it & going bad. That is a genius idea.

  55. Susan Wickenhiser says

    I have never seen something so neat. Would absolutely love giving these a try.
