Has anyone tried placing bananas in refrig WITHOUT using bag? (I'm used to this method, the peel turns brown, yet the flesh stays firm). Anyone else?

My experience is to put a bunch in the yellow bag & I take two out the night before breakfast, than they are not cold, stay firm & fresh longer than just putting them in ref. with no bag, we love it.

I tried this before I purchased the banana bag and the bananas rotted....more banana bread.....YIKES!

Oh, I just saw on the bag that refrigeration is recommended after opening. Oops! They're still good, I've had them for about a month or little more.

Fruit is used as you would naturally eat them. The bananas are frozen without the peel. Berries are frozen whole. Pineapple without the shell, etc

I've never refrigerated this bag even once opened. I've kept it around for a few weeks without any issue. However, I don't see how putting it in fridge would hurt it either.

Of what I have read, it is not necessary to refrigerate. However, I do to maintain the potency and freshness. The vendor or manufacturer should be contacted for a more definitive answer.

I have never refrigerated mine. Seems fresh without like peanut butter. Sometimes you have to stir because of seperation.

Mine came today and there was NO ice pack! So it has been in the 80's during shipment 6-18-14..are these worth taking? The bottle just says: Storage: refrigerate and keep tightly closed. My storage will be refrigerated but what about the storage before me? I will take these and see if these help. But for the price, if they were hurt by the previous lack of care for the probiotics, not a good purchase. And I will not purchase again and never know if they would have been good after all!

The package states to refrigerate after opening. I refrigerate, so I don't know what happens to the coconut if you dont.

Shelf life is indefinite if kept completely dry and sealed against impurities, insects, etc. Upon purchasing I usually open the inner heat-sealed plastic bag (this is the 'weak link' in the Indian packaging), pour out enough rice (about half) to allow removing the plastic bag and then replace the bag with an appropriate extra-large food storage size ziplock bag, then pick over and replace the rice. I have found it to be wholesome, tasty, and unchanged after a year and more, when stored this way.

This non-adulterated form is what you want. Need some flavor or sweetener? Buy bulk bananas (Costco even has organic ones now), peel/freeze them, then add them and/or a mix of organic berries, pineapple, cacao, etc and you're good to go (check out the freezer section of your neighborhood store for great organic fruit options).

You put it in dry, as you get it at the store. You can wash the veggies right in the bag, and store them in your refrig. still in the bag. You can also send the bags through the washer as needed, though I would air dry rather than the dryer.

I can't answer the question because mine is sitting in a drawer--it didn't work. In fact it caused my bananas to ripen faster and get spots

bananas (and apples, pears..) might not do very well, I think. bananas brown super fast, specially with more exposed surface areas, so unless they are going to be eaten on the spot, might be best left whole. pineapple, kiwi and maybe even watermelon might do well with these. possibly papaya and mango too, if firm enough and kept cold. have fun!

No you do not have to use bananas. They just work the best. All other fruit needs to be thawed for at LEAST 15 mins before using.

In my experience , I put 2 blu apples into my produce bin. I stored strawberries in their ventilated container inside of the drawer with 2 apples. The next week they were still good. So, I have decided to have extra apples around to stuff into clipped spinach bags, and bagged salads and veggies... the stuff you never have room for in your produce drawer. i think it will work like an enclosed drawer.I am impressed and I like that I don't have to wash out and reuse the green bags that serve the same purpose. Yes , this works. It is just a matter of chemistry. I liked the green bags too, years ago, but got tired of washing the bags and having them dry all over my kitchen and be messy looking. I like the blu apples better...but you need more than 2 to cover everything if you like having veggies stored. Hey, for cost of produce, why not try it? It works for me. I toss a whole lot less into the compost bin. Don't expect miracles, highly delicate items like raspberries will last longer than usual but nothing is a miracle cure for nature.

Things always dry for me from the edges inward. That is why in the instructions it tells you to put all of the fruit (or vegetables) into an airtight container to sit for a few hours or overnight so the moisture can redistribute.
