Debbie Meyer Green Bags Review

Where to Buy This Product:
1. Amazon
2. Kitchen Collection

When we set out to test the Debbie Meyer GreenBags we had to be skeptical, after all how could something as simple as a bag store your fruits and veggies for such long periods of time. We started our test with bananas, tomatoes and strawberries and split them equally – storing half in the GreenBags and half without. The packaging of the GreenBags advertises claims such as bananas still fresh after 9 days and tomatoes still looking great after 14 days – we ran our test for 2 weeks time and you can see our results were less than appetizing!

The GreenBags are supposed to absorb and remove the ethylene gasses that fruits and vegetables emit while ripening – those gases trapped in your normal storage bags will accelerate the ripening, aging and rotting processes. The bags feel no different than other plastic bags to the touch, and the results of our tests really were not supportive of the slowed deteriorating and rotting process of the foods. The GreenBags get a 2 out of 6 Star rating – they do not provide much more longevity then just storing your fruits and vegetables out in the open.

    dude, you have to follow the bag instructions to be fair. It's troublesome, but you have to shake/wipe the moisture from inside the bag every 1-2 days. (I've extended that to 3-4 days by putting the fruit in a paper towel then placing it in the bag). By removing the moisture, and keeping them in the fridge, I can have strawberries, blueberries (the toughest), lettuce, grapes, last up to a month. By removing the moisture the bag can capture the ethylene gas from the fruit, and you can triple the (refrigerated) shelf life of your costly fruits and veggies. Now if you want the LONGEST shelf life without freezing, do the above, then drop them in a vacuum sealing canister and then remove all the air - amazing !


    I had greenish bananas in a green bag for 5 days without them turning brown. I ate a banana from the bunch that wasn't in the bag. When I ate (only a few bites) of one from the bag today, and it smelled very chemical... like nail polish remover, and tasted a bit funny. I had my coworkers smell my banana, and after the laughter from my request subsided, all agreed it smelled like chemicals. For 2 hours now, my lips and tongue tingle a little. That's just not normal. Throwing the bags in the trash.


    To the post of Nov. are you are asking him to go in favor of the green bags because you do not like what you see? On the commercial bananas were actually used as well as strawberries. It should not matter what the produce is as long as it is produce, it says so on the bag. Because of this video you guys saved me $20.00 USD in my country as I so wanted to buy this product, but now I know its not worth it. Thanks!
