I struggle with buying the right amount of produce. I’m only
cooking for T and me, and I want a lot of variety of flavors. Or I’ll buy limes
just for the zest (cilantro lime rice – yum!), and want to get to the fruit
later (hello, Moscow Mule). If I buy even a few different vegetables, half of
them are spoiling by the end of the week.
Enter our hero, my mom, who introduced me to these miracle bags!
I’ve been using them for a few months now, and they really do extend the life
of my produce by 2-3x.
Cost: Under $1 a bag.
Savings: For me, about $10/week.
How they work: Peak Fresh is a “Modified Atmosphere
Packaging”. Essentially, it removes ethylene and excess humidity from around the fruit and
vegetables that cause them to age.
The best news? These bags are reusable. Simply wash them out
and store the next lemon, pepper, or tomato in them. Therefore, this 10/pack of
bags will last me the better part of a year.
Buy directly from them.
Or, I’ve also seen them available through sites like Amazon.
