Thanks to ChickAdvisor I received a full price coupon for the new Rubbermaid Freshworks Produce Saver and I absolutely love it!
I'm not a big fan out Tupperware type containers, they always end up lost at the back of my cupboard never to be seen again, with good reason, very few actually keep food fresh for long but this Rubbermaid container is amazing. I cannot tell you enough how well this product works at keeping produce fresh.
My family couldn't decide on what berries to test this with so I decided to try out something a little different, I bought peppers and stored them in the container. Usually food of any kind doesn't last any longer than a day in my tiny fridge before the food starts to get mushy, freeze or go bad but after a week in the freshworks
container my peppers were still crisp like I had just bought them, a little dry on the edges I'll admit, but the container does say not to cut up your produce before storing.
So what is the secret that Rubbermaid has stumbled upon that keeps fruit and veggies so fresh? I'm guessing it has a little something to do with the fresh vent lid and crisp tray.
This is what the packaging says
"Fresh vent Lid: Patented membrane naturally regulates the flow of O2 & CO2 to create the optimal environment so your produce stays farm fresh
Produce Container: Sized to optimally fit and keep produce fresher, longer
Crisp tray: Elevates produce away from moisture and promotes proper airflow to help prevent spoilage"
The Freshworks containers come in three sizes
Small 2.5 cups/591ml = One pint of berries
Medium 6.3 cups/1.5L = One pound of strawberries (16oz)
Large 17.3 cups/4L = One head of lettuce
I would love to get all 3 containers but to be honest, the medium size I received was at full price with tax $15, a high price I personally would not pay for a container that wouldn't get used much in my house. My family never stores fruits or veggies, we eat them all way too quickly but I know my mother in law would absolutely get great use out of this as she and her husband don't eat nearly as much as my family with two growing teenagers. This is a great product for anyone who actually waits to eat their fruits and veggies!
