Most fruit, vegetables and flowers release ethylene gas as they ripen. Exposure of the produce to these gasses accelerates ripening and deterioration.
Green Bags breathe
Unlike most plastic bags, Green Bags breathe, so other damaging gases such as carbon dioxide and ammonia can escape.
Inside texture minimizes moisture formation
This anti-fogging treatment reduces the formation of water droplets (which encourage bacteria growth, that cause further deterioration).
Provides a controlled humidity
A certain amount of humidity is needed to control shrivelling-thereby preserving the natural vitamins and enzymes.
Filters out harmful Ultraviolet light
The soft green color further protects the quality of the produce stored inside.
Farmers in the region had been warehousing their produce in mountain caves with amazing results. The caves were dark, consistently cool, dry and, it was discovered, the caves themselves were in a mountain of clay called oya. The oya absorbed the ethylene gas that the produce gave off as it matured, significantly prolonging the freshness. Evert-fresh Bags' special film is made with that mineral, oya.
