Tired of your fruits and veggies going bad before you have a chance to eat them?  If so, Bluapple may be your solution.

The produce industry has known for years that ethylene gas, released by fruits and vegetables, accelerates spoilage.  The attractive apple-shaped blue plastic container holds an absorbent pouch that traps the ethylene gas in your refrigerator and extends the useful storage life of your produce up the three times longer.

                 

The Bluapple is designed to work for three months in a typical home refrigerator produce or storage container.  The active ingredient does not wear out, but continues to absorb ethylene until is has reached it capacity. The absorbent pouches can be replaced, allowing you to reuse the plastic Blueapple for years.  I’ve got these in my refrigerator at home, and they do work great.  You’ll find them in the produce section of your natural food market or other grocery stores.  The product works so well, it got an endorsement on the “The Doctors” television show.
