(More customer reviews)My brother and I decided to try 2 different brands of these bags. He went with the Debbie Meyer and I tried these. (Ok, so he makes a lot more $ than I do!!!). We started on the same day with the same fruit and produce in them and kept monitoring to see which one worked best. They are still both going strong and neither he or I have experienced any spoiled fruit or veggies in almost 2 months. They work so well, we decided to share our quantities with one another just for the bag color difference. We will both purchase THIS product in the future in various sizes. No need to pay more. One clue: trick to keeping condensation from forming inside bag (which rots the food) is to place a few crumpled up paper towels in the bag with the food. Also, I don't close the bag up real tight, but rather scrunch the top together but put it loosely in the frig or on the counter. This way no moisture builds up inside the bag from the gases being released from the food and I don't have to keep wiping the 'wet' from the inside of the bag.
Edit: Nov 2, '09-it has been several months since original purchase of this product and I have finally thrown out the original few bags I used at the onset. Not because they are no longer working effectively, but they have become a bit ratty looking from all the washing, rinsing and re-use. If all the bags in this small box last this long, purchasing this product once/year with just 10 bags is a dream come true. (thinking of giving brother some more for Christmas (giggle)- he'll be set for life! ;)

Peak Fresh Re-Usable Produce Bags, Set of 10Preserve the freshness of your fruits and vegetables at home with Peak Fresh Re-Usable Produce Bags, which help to remove ethylene (ripening gas) from within the bag to ensure your produce stays at its peak freshness. Unlike ordinary plastic bags, Peak Fresh bags "breathe" so that damaging gases produced by the fresh produce are removed. Most fruit and vegetables release ethylene gas after harvest, and exposure of the produce to the gas accelerates aging and ultimate deterioration.
This low-density polyethylene film is impregnated with a natural occurring mineral that significantly increases gas permeability, allowing small amounts of ethylene to be removed. The increased permeability allows for the discharge of other gases such as carbon dioxide and ammonia. The mineral also has good deodorizing properties. The bag also has an anti-fog additive in the film that reduces the formation of water drops, and thus reducing the potential development of damaging bacteria.
Pre-cool warm fruit and vegetables in refrigerator before storing in bag. Use a separate bag for each type of produce. Produce must be dry.
