I am IN LOVE with these Oxo containers! I found them at the Container Store and they have transformed my relationship with fresh vegetables from the garden as my freshly washed produce now stays fresh for even longer in these containers.
They are called Greensaver Produce Keepers by OXO and they come in a variety of shapes and sizes. Their website says: it works three ways to keep produce from spoiling. First, the all-natural, non-toxic activated carbon filters trap and absorb ethylene gas, slowing down spoilage. Inside, an elevated removable basket promotes proper airflow and helps prevent moisture buildup. And finally, the vent on the top helps maintain optimum humidity levels. The removable basket can even be used as a colander.
- Outer container is made of SAN (a BPA-free plastic), removable basket is made of polypropylene
- Lid includes an adjustable vent
- Each includes one filter; carbon filter lasts 90 days; a sliding date indicator tells you when to replace
- Hand washing is recommended

These containers are very reasonable (and are on sale at the Container Store right now). Buy them and you will love them as much as I do!
