[PUP] Keeping fruits and veggies fresh

[Keith]

I've been using a similar product, Evert-Fresh bags for years. They really 
do work as advertised. You used to be able to find them in the local grocery 
stores, but other than the web http://www.evertfresh.com/ the only place I 
find them nowadays is West Marine. I've kept romaine lettuce in the fridge 
for a month and it's still green and crisp with no discoloration. Like Chris 
says, stuff needs to be as dry as possible; I don't wash stuff until I'm 
ready to use it, just put it in the bag from the store. You also need to get 
as much air out as possible and seal tightly each time.

PS: I was going to compare prices, but the link from the Evert-Fresh site 
sends me to the Debbie Meyer green bag site. I guess it's a new marketing 
angle for them.
