We have 3 gardens in our backyard and I’m always harvesting fresh fruits and vegetables throughout the summer growing season. On top of that, I shop at our local Farmer’s Market every 2 weeks. One thing that I’ve learned is that you need to store your fresh produce properly to get it to last longer! No one likes wasting food and money.

Two years ago I started using VeggieZips Premium Produce Bags made by BluApple. What’s really nice about these fresh produce bags is that they’re reusable and they help to keep your produce fresher for a longer period of time. Each bag is lined with U-Vents that allow gas to escape and fresh air to come into the bag. Each bag has a hydroliner that you can dampen with water to add moisture and when it’s dry…it helps to absorb excess moisture. It’s like a “SMART” produce bag!
One of the BEST things is this…the bags and liners are washable and reusable! I wash mine out….let them air dry and then I reuse them again. Several times before I retire that bag and liner. How do I wash them? I do it in my (clean) kitchen sink using a little bit of liquid dish soap. Rinse them out thoroughly with clean water. I have empty flower vases on a cotton towel laid out on my kitchen counter. Place one bag over the vase so the water runs out and the air gets up in there to dry. Easy!!
I absolutely love using my VeggieZips Premium Produce Bags and recommend them to all of my friends and family. I’ve been a faithful user for the past 2 years. They really work!!! You can buy them directly from Amazon for a great price.

I won these from one of your giveaways a few years ago and they really do work to help keep produce fresh longer. Well worth the money.
