OXO Good Grips GreenSaver Produce Keeper - Large,White,Green

I just started to grow microgreens and found this box to store my harvests between sandwiches. This storage box kept my delicate arugula and komatsuna fresh for nine days. That was the time it took for me to eat all my harvest. It really works: no wilting or rotting just perfect greens. It only comes with one charcoal filter, that lasts 90 days.

We have been working to incorporate more vegetables into our diet, and that's meant in our case a lot of salads, but not American lettuce-based salads... salads in the European sense of vegetables, cold or lightly cooked and served cool, in combination with fresh herbs and seasonings.As such, we've always got mint, flat-leaf parsley, scallion tops, thyme, tarragon, basil, and other herbs and greens in the fridge. They'll stay better if you put them in a zip lock bag with a damp paper towel, but they still wilt and blacken or get slimy after a couple of days.By contrast, these herb keepers will keep things fresh and crisp and healthy for a full week, sometimes ridiculously longer if you keep the water fresh. We've literally had cilantro for *three weeks* kept fresh and healthy by changing the water every ~3 days, using only filtered water (i.e., free of chlorine from the tap), and using kitchen scissors to trim the bottoms every few days to allow them to keep drinking.Some herbs - like culantro - just don't do well once unpackaged, but most do, and this has more than paid for itself with not having to throw out 2/3 of a bunch of herbs because we couldn't use them all at once.We have 3 at present, all full. It means we can make a salad with fresh herbs on Sunday, and again on Wednesday, and again on Friday, without having to go to the store.I can't speak highly enough of these containers - they really work, and they work better than any home-made hack contraption I've tried.Note: the top doesn't clip/snap onto the bottom, as you don't want an airtight seal - i think that's part of the reason it works. But this can lead to the top popping off in the fridge if it gets bumped. You can secure it with a standard size rubber band that still allows for a minimal amount of air transfer, but secures the lid.

The cover doesn't seal or securely stay on the container. Usually covers fit snug and you can easily carry it with one hand without worrying.This cover, even though it is on properly, will flip open if you handle it by the edge of the lid. Several times the lid/cover flipped up and the whole thing, container, cover and lettuce shot out of my hand onto the kitchen floor. I now use both hands and I actively hold it to secure the cover.The container works great. I love how Iit collects more moisture into the bottom and I can empty it as wanted. The vegetable don't get all wet, nasty or brown as quickly as they do in the original container/bag. It stays fresh for a long time. Usually Romain leaves are tough to keep crispy for a week (for work) and sometimes I won't get my salad because it got brown or soft.It fits 2 heads of romaine lettuce. (I use a lettuce spinner) nicely.This change the way I store vegetables in my refrigerator. Now I always use these types of containers for berries and loose vegetables. Strawberries, blueberries and lettuce seem to benefit the most.This is a rectangle container with a non locking lid that has a compartment for a moisture eliminating packet. The middle of the lid has a chart for ventilation. Theres a slider to add more air circulation or to close it off.I bought my mom one after using mine for a while. I give four stars because if the cover popping off

This is my second OXO produce keeper. This one is the long one, holding more than my first one. I wondered if it would be awkward to handle. It is excellent as far as I'm concerned.I especially like this long, larger one. A large grocery-store container of greens can be stored loosely in this one.I read a couple reviews saying the top wouldn't stay on, not clasped tight. The top stays on just fine, the same as my other OXO that I've been using for a couple of years.These work perfectly for keeping produce that needs high, or low, humidity by using the slide top open or closed. On the back side of that slide are pictures showing the proper humidity for various fruits & veggies Under that slide there's an activated carbon packet that really does help extend the produce's fresh life!I haven't lost any produce since using these OXO containers. They are great!
