Bluapple Produce Saver Ethylene Gas Absorber - Fresh Fruit & Vegetable Storage for Refrigerator, Each Packet Lasts 3 Months, Produce Storage, BPA Free - Combo Pack (8 Packets & 2 Bluapples for 1 Year)

I had heard about these years ago, but was very skeptical. However, I decided to give them a try. It does seem to make a difference in how my produce last. We ate a lot of fresh produce throughout the year and it has been frustrating to have to throw it away because we don’t eat it in time. This little gadget helps to keep our produce surviving and thriving much longer.

Love this Product and very impressed. I bought Organic Bananas that were yellow already (testing new Bluapple) and 4 days later they are still delish without major brown spots. So happy to have found this product and so glad to buy Bananas again that stay fresher longer 😊

they work !

I have been using these for quite a few years. They do help keeping produce fresh longer.

I was skeptical at first but these really work. My boyfriend and I buy most of our groceries at Costco and the fruits and veggies almost always go bad before we can finish it all. But its still cheaper than buying it from other supermarkets so…Well I took a chance on this product and I’ve been pleasant surprised with how well it works. It extends the longevity of your produce so that it won’t spoil and go in the trash. Its less wasteful and better for the environment…something I’ve been trying to be more conscious about. Cutting down on plastic/paper waste was pretty easy with mesh produce bags and sponge cloths like this instead of paper towels. But food waste has been more difficult to tackle until I found these! You just place it in the fridge or wherever you keep your produce. Theres a packet inside the blue apple that absorbs ethylene gas, the things that causes your food to ripen. Most of our fruits go into the humidity control drawer in the fridge so that’s where we have ours. Before we got these, our produce would go bad so quickly (sometimes in 3-4 days) but now that can easily last 1-2 weeks. Lettuce, apples, bananas, onions, ginger, it works for everything. You can tell it’s fresher by just looking at it. They don’t get soggy anymore. It hasn’t been 3 months yet so I haven’t had to replace them yet but it sounds easy enough. You just twist open the plastic container and replace the packet. The product comes with 8 refills so that should last me at least a year. Not sure if I can buy just the refills themselves but I’ll figure that out when I have to. I would highly recommend it if you’re experiencing the same problem that I was having. The effect is noticeable, and you’ll save money from not having to buy as much groceries. Yes the product itself isn’t cheap at $20 for 2 but it won’t take long for you to get that money back from your produce. PS- The Bluapple is made in the US, not China!

To be honest, I think these help but I need to put them in a bag with the salad or other item to make a difference. Just setting one in the crisper drawer seems to make little difference. I wish they worked magic, but they don’t. The real variable is how much moisture there is in the fridge, which depends on lots of different factors. These probably aren’t entirely worth the money, but I keep using them because salad is expensive.

I've been using this for a year now. It does make a difference, especially the berries. I keeps the fruits and veggies fresh for longer time.

These little packets have been a miracle in our fridge. Fresh fruits and veggies last much longer with one of these packets in the drawer. You're supposed to put them in the little blue plastic apple, but we just swap out the packets every 30 days and don't bother with the apple. I also put one in with our bags of potatoes and onions to help them from sprouting as quickly as they always seem to do. Same with bananas, just tuck a packet in the bunch and they take twice as long to ripen (you can also tear your bunch apart and wrap the ends in plastic wrap or foil and that really slows down the ripening process) . We've been using these for the last few years ever since I saw them in the grocery store, and I can't imagine not using them. Nothing is worse than going for a piece of fruit or vegetables and finding out that the bag of green beans you bought two days ago (and that isn't supposed to expire for at least another week) has already sprouted fuzzies or is slimy and mushy. It's frustrating throwing money away on produce that goes bad well before its time. We have our list of what should be refrigerated, what to store at room temp, what to store at high humidity, what to store at low humidity, and other little tips and tricks to make produce last as long as possible. Even with all of that, we'd still see stuff going bad well before its time. Since starting to use these packets, it's like three to four days have been added on to the life of the produce we buy. Ten bucks for these is easily made back by not having to throw out produce because plans changed at the last minute and we had to postpone cooking it for a day or two.

We have noticed that vegetables stay so much fresher with the Bluball! There is no wastage as previous.

Just started using the product and it works as described.I bought it in order to lengthen the freshness of my fruits. Delivery was quick

I received only two bluapples, but consignment didn't contain any refills. In the product description it is written as, 2 bluapples and 8 refills, which will serve for 1year. But I didn't receive any refills.

I wasn't sure about the product, but my produce was getting bad too often so I decided to try. I can say it works as described, from things going to the garbage in 1 week, now they last at least for 2 weeks so I can eat them instead of throwing away food. Happy customer!

Great for keeping produce fresh in fridge crisper.
