We eat produce like nothing else here. My kids love fruit! I purchase most of my fruit(apples, oranges, pears) through Azure Standard in bulk. So I often come home with a 20lb or more box of each. Sometimes part of that will go bad before the kids can eat it which makes me a little upset as it's organic fruit and at a really good price.
I recently tried out a great product to help increase the life of our fruit called
bluapple. Bluapple works by absorbing the chemicals that produce let off that control their ripening. I tried this out by placing one bluapple in a drawer with oranges. Not just a few oranges, but as many as I could cram in there! You can see the pictures below. I did not take a before picture of my oranges, but took the picture today. These oranges are over a month old. And yes it was hard to keep my kids out of them, but I allowed them to eat the ones that didn't fit into that drawer!

I usually have to throw out something every week.
ReplyDeleteVeggies get tossed often if I don't follow my menu plan for the week. Fruit normally doesn't last long enough to go bad though.
ReplyDeleteI really need to get this. I have to toss stuff frequently because it goes bad so quick. I would be really interested to try this.
ReplyDeleteWe usually have to throw it out and bananas are the worst! We actually have this product and that has cut down alot of waste.
ReplyDeleteI am throwing away over-ripe fruit all the time. It seems so wasteful, but some fruit just has little life left after purchase.
ReplyDeleteI have many many times, sometimes I don't buy it because I feel like we will waste more than we eat.
ReplyDeleteOh, man; I could use this! I'm thisclose to giving up on buying produce because it spoils so quickly on us. I bought a bag of oranges, and within 10 days, two of the oranges (that were in contact with ALL the other oranges) were mushy balls of mold spores - I mean, just TOTALLY gone.
ReplyDeleteI think this is a great product.
ReplyDeleteI would love to have this great product.
ReplyDeleteI love the Bluapple! It greatly increases the life span of my produce!
ReplyDeleteI often have to toss out veggies; especially lettuce.

Yes, it usually is bananas. I don't throw anything in the garbage it goes out to the cow pasture, they eat anything.
