Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

MULTI-USE: I quickly discovered I could use these bags for produce, making loose leaf tea, fresh juice from blended fruits, aguas frescas (fruit waters), making almond milk (think cheaper nut milk bag!!!), laundry bag for delicate lace, and to use as sack to take SOFT fruit to post-yoga. (What can I say, I love peaches and figs in the summer). This is great since I always disliked fruit after its been in plastic bag, especially my figs, peaches, and other stone fruit HOW IT WORKS: Obviously helps the Earth by reducing plastic use. Also raises awareness when people see you with them. Double win.. This allows your produce to breathe, however not ideal for greens or herbs as they need cool moisture, thus the secret to keeping herbs fresh in the fridge using a damp cloth in an airtight environent. I still put greens in these bags, I just put my greens in the crisper drawer when I get home. Problem solved, WHICH PRODUCE CAN FIT: I think the obvious.. apples, oranges, and other snack size round fruit. I would estimate that I could load up my largest size bag with approximately 7-9 lbs of round fruit. (I say approximate because I fill up about 1/3 of bag with stone fruit and its comes to about 3 lbs), or a 2 person serving watermelon. (Yes, it holds its weight!!! No ripping or busted seams carrying the melons) BIG STUFF? Yupp, It does it. I've fit so far: Whole celery hearts with leaves, 3 extra large romaine lettuce, approximately 15-18 bananas, 5 bunches of 8" long carrots, 3 baskets of strawberries, melons (I'd say about 10 lbs max) large yams. They're very moderately sized. EASY TO CLEAN: I wash these by hand using 7th generation dish soap and that's plenty. I leave them out to dry and they're great. I stained some with strawberries and figs and the stain didn't come out but I don't care. If necessary for my aesthetic pleasure, I can bleach 'em in a whites cycle. VALUE: To be honest, because these are so multi-use, I'd say they're worth every penny plus shipping even if you don't have prime. I bought 2 sets and discovered I can use them for so many things I should have bought 3-4 sets! I feel so much more kind to the Earth now, I feel more responsible, and feeling better about yourself makes you happy. These bags add to my happiness in life. Haha. Buy them for gifts, buy them to help lower that footprint, since, well, plastic doesn't detoriate and you care about the future. Plus, your food doesn't get that weird off plastic after taste which is so refreshing. BUY BUY BUY!!!
