Veggie Saver is a patented bag that keeps produce crisp and fresh for weeks (not days), helping you reduce waste, plastic pollution, and the number of trips you take to the store. Not only will your fruit and veggies stay fresh and crisp for longer, but you’ll send less food waste to landfill, spend less on produce gone bad, and help protect our planet by moving towards a plastic free life. Veggie Saver is sister to The Swag - the original, intelligent produce bags. Almost half of all fruit and vegetables produced globally are wasted (that’s 3.7 trillion apples). Whenever we throw away food, we’re not only throwing out our hard-earned cash, we’re driving up the cost of all food which literally takes food from the mouths of the hungry.

Veggie Saver is a patented design made out of three different layers of 100% unbleached, unseeded cotton – each layer playing an important role in keeping your produce fresh for longer. The robust outer layer of your Veggie Saver protects fruit & vegetables by preserving the water within the middle layer from drying out too quickly. The thick, absorbent middle layer holds the bulk of the moisture. This layer draws the water away from the fresh produce, yet allows it to hydrate as needed. The inner layer provides a dry, protective barrier that keeps your produce from getting too wet. All three layers are permeable, allowing your fruit & veggies to breathe & stay fresh. Veggie Saver replaces the need for single use plastic in the fridge and mimics the oxygen full and water rich environment at the grocery store. Use your machine washable Veggie Saver for years and years and then compost it at the end of its life! 

Applied Horticulture Research 2021 conducted a Veggie Saver trial to compare storage life and quality of produce in “Veggie Saver” to fruit and vegetables stored in a domestic refrigerator using conventional packaging materials. Please see results in pdf brochure, under image (last image).

Key summary of trial results

1. Veggie Saver keeps fruit and veggies fresh for over two weeks*

* Broccolini, parsley and blueberries kept in Veggie Savers remained fresh and marketable for more than 2 weeks. In some cases, storage life increased up to four weeks.

2. Veggie Saver extends the life of fruit and veggies for over two weeks*

* Broccolini and blueberries kept in Veggie Savers resulted in storage life extending over 2 weeks

3. Studies found Veggie Saver increased storage life of veggies like broccoli for up to 4 weeks (25% longer than plastic)

4. Veggie Saver provides major quality improvements over storing vegetables in a paper bag or simply placing them in the crisper drawer with no packaging

5. Veggie Saver increases storage life of fruit and veggies up to 38% longer than when stored in plastic*
* Studies found Veggie Saver increased storage life of blueberries by 38% compared to ordinary punnets only, and increased storage life of broccolini by 25% compared to plastic
