Save the Veggies!

Nobody wants to eat wilted lettuce, yellowed veggies, or slimy spinach. Because grocery prices are sky-high, I’ve been using Vejibag’s vegetable crisper bags to keep vegetables fresh and crisp for longer periods.

Available in a diverse range of sizes, Vejibag helps me avoid wasting food and  drastically cuts down on my plastic usage, which is always a good thing. These super-soft bags are sourced and manufactured in the United Sates from 100% certified organic raw cotton. Because Vejibags are chemical-free, they can be safely used as rags or turned into compost when they are worn out.

Vejibags won’t help pre-packaged triple-washed salads stay fresh but they do keep celery, leafy greens, smaller peppers, and other vegetables crisp and fresh for up to two weeks. You can use  your Vejibag for storing most vegetables, however, Vejibag staff members advise against using a Vejibag to store delicate items, such as raspberries, and “items that don’t need a moist environment, such as avocados.” Basil prefers a warmer environment and would not do well if it is stored in a Vejibag.

Here is a link to a page with information about optimal temperature and moisture levels for a wide variety of fruits and vegetables. Most of the vegetables I regularly purchase are suitable for Vejibag storage because they thrive in a moist setting.

If you are ready to say buh-bye to plastic storage containers, visit Vejibags for more information about using and caring for its innovative Vegetable Crisper Bags.
