With summer produce here and our local co-op in full swing (http://www.athens.locallygrown.net/), I was desperate for a way to make my beautiful fruits and vegetables last longer. I'd seen Debbie Meyer's Green Bags on TV (http://www.cakecutter.com/greenbags.html), and on a recent visit to Alabama, my mom mentioned them. I don't usually order things from TV, but I was considering trying these out when, as luck would have it, I found them in the Kroger produce department. The bags supposedly contain a natural mineral that absorbs the ripening gas that fruits and veggies produce. The absorption of the gas then is supposed to make the fruits and veggies stay fresh longer. The bags at Kroger are $9.99 for a box of 20 and each bag can be re-used 7-8 times. So far, I really like them. They're easy to use and seem to be working. I think they are definitely worth trying if you find yourself with lots of fruits and veggies that you don't want to freeze or can. I'll keep you posted as time goes on. If you try them out, email us and share your experience with Debbie Meyer's Green Bags - thesoutherndish@gmail.com (and no, the Southern Dish receives no compensation for products we recommend. They are just things we like!)

Debbie Meyers Green Bags extend the life of your pricy produce. I've been using them since 2001 and selling them online since 2002. I have many tips on their use on my web site. Please stop in and see; www.bright-star-promotions.com, then click on the green bag icon. Or if you have any questions about their use, please call me, (502) 423-7827
Oh, Blueberries are arriving on the grocers shelves. I place the whole container in the green bags and they stay fresh for over a week...well that is if I don't eat all of them quickly!
Eat more fresh fruits and veggies every day.
Smiles, Valerie
