Does anyone know if the green bags work???

Question

Do those debbie myer green bags work

Answer 1

Yes doubles the life of my vegies, and I bought generic ones

Answer 2

According to the article in "Consumer Reports" this product doesn't work.

CR's take. We saw green inside the Green Bags, but often it was mold. Blackberries became moldy after three weeks, strawberries and basil after a month, and peppers and tomatoes after five weeks. It was a tough test, but the same foods stored in other ways nearly always had less mold or none after the same time. Only bananas fared significantly better in Green Bags: After two weeks, they were firm and had not turned black.

Answer 3

my friend's mom has those and she said it works!

Answer 4

My friend gave me some of those green bags, but I don't remember the brand name.  Yes, they worked.  The veggies I put in them stayed fresher longer.  It's just that I was too lazy to re-wash the green bag and reused them again (and again).  Check to see if your fridge has a sliding tab to change from 'low humidity' or 'high humidity'.  It also helps if you keep the humidity of the veggie bin in your fridge low to reduce the condensation / water that makes the veggies rot faster.  "Moisture increases microbial growth", says the source below. That's also my personal observation.
