Revisiting Green bags

I was so glad to hear that a few of you have taken advantage of the veggie wash recipes I posted :)


buuutt - revisiting the green bags: i have found, after going crazy with them, that all produce is not equal in the world of Debbie Meyer. Do NOT put potatoes or onions into green bags, they will last much longer out of green bags. also, i'm not sure if I am just trying to take advantage of the bags and not realizing how long i'm actually leaving stuff in there and relying on them to keep it safe (maybe i should keep track to see?) but i don't think they work so well for grapes. i also didn't notice a difference in timing for tomatoes. However, for romaine lettuce, apples, and carrots, they seem to work great! Though I think carrots and apples have a pretty long fridge life anyway! Oh, and my uncle said they don't work great for strawberries either...so, basically, this seems to be a good lesson in only buying what you can eat in a week! lol. oh well...

i'd love to hear your story if you've tried them - what did they work for and what not so much? did you actually keep track of the timing?
