Will these help keep herbs fresh longer in the produce drawer of my fridge? Ziploc used to make a perforated produce bag that did. Looking to replace.

I used one on a bunch of Cilatro, and they lasted a week in my produce drawer with the humidity at the lowest, which is longer than they tend to last.

I don't usually keep leafy greens in the mesh bags in the frig....I do keep mushrooms, zucchini in them. I use the mesh bags for trips to the grocery store for any kind of veggie.

I have never had a problem with food going stale in these bags. I do live in a very dry climate. I have been very happy with this product.

Yes! I use mine for freezing all kinds of things. The only drawback is (and this happens in any condition, not just the freezer) every once in a while they "unvacuum" It usually happens quickly because of not zipping them tightly enough, but sometimes it is because of a bad bag or small hole in the bag, so I check in a day or two to avoid freezer burn, stale food, etc.

what is the best way to store? in the past a drop of water in a bag in the fridge would keep it moist to pop better, any other suggestions about best storage re: freshness:-)

I leave them in the bag they came in and leave them in the pantry. I use mine pretty quickly so don't have them for long. However, I would imagine since they are dried you can store same way for a longer period.

I wouldn't recommend the use of these jars for spice storage. They are made to go in the 'fridge to store yogurt, so I couldn't guarantee they would be adequately airtight for spices. I would recommend something with a vacuum seal.

We have a FoodSaver vacuum sealer and use these bags without issue. With the amount of bag you are forced to sacrifice between the vacuum and the sealer bar, its more like 1.5 cup useful capacity rather than a pint.

Hi 'Mom' ... These are good quality bags I don't see why they would not work for food. The only problem is when they are re-closed they are Very difficult to re-open. I would not recomend for young childern, or for things like Trail mix, that means having to re-open often.

I have been using these glass jars to store dry goods, spices, powders and such. I keep them in refrigerator, so far (one-year) items stored have have remained fresh and without transferring odor to other items in refrigerator. remember to make sure lid seal is centered and making good contact with lip of jar.

I avoid refrigerator/freezer in order to prevent dehydration; moisture content insures "good pop". Not sure about "oxy absorbers" - but air tight container sounds good. Actually - my popcorn doesn't last long enough to be in danger!

I keep my unopened bags in the pantry. Once i open it i transfer it to a zip baggie and keep it in the frige. I honestly dont know if you shouldnt keep it in the pantry. I do know that the frige prolongs the life of your yeast.

Sorry, we mostly use these bags to avoid all the little plastic bags in the various supermarkets and grocery stores. So, I can't really speak to the long term storage of lettuce, but most veggies and fruit seem to store well.

You can store them in your cabinet since they have no liquid in them. keep them sealed and out of sunlight and moisture. I buy several bags at once and they stay fresh for many months. 1 bag I kept for a year and it was still potent. How I know that is because when I started taking it gave me very vivid dreams and the 1 year old stuff did the same for me.

I've never used them in the freezer for something like raw meat. I've used them for basil leaves and stuff like that. The ziplock freezer bags with the air pump are pretty great for keeping things fresh.

i use saran wrap or zip lock bags, the saran wrap did better. the shelf life can be fairly short i have found (some of them dried up after 3 months.)

Yes, that is correct. But I will tell you this - they really work for me. I have bought all kinds of brands of those reusable ones, including those expensive Debbie Meyer ones. These Ziplocs work a lot better than any of those reusable ones ever did. I have a head of lettuce in my fridge right now that I bought 2 weeks ago and it is as fresh as the day I bought it - there is no "rust" on any of the leaves. The bags have tiny "breathing holes" in them, so you don't have to struggle to get all the air out - it just naturally flows out. Seriously, I would buy these throw away Ziplocs any day over those reusable ones. Yes, that is correct. But I will tell you this - they really work for me.
