Who likes premature aging? That's what happens to the produce in your refrigerator if exposed to ethylene gas.
How many times have you thrown away limp celery or carrots? Lettuce turned brown and wilted? Onions and garlic beginning to sprout? The average household annually disposes up to 25% of fresh produce purchased because of unnecessary spoilage. That's a lot of food and money thrown away.
Fruits, vegetables and other fresh produce naturally release ethylene gas during their ripening process, and when exposed to this gas, ripening accelerates. To retard spoilage, the organic and commercial produce industries have used extender packet technology for over 20 years, and it is now available for home and restaurant use.
Healthy Harvest Freshness Extender absorbs ethylene gas, thereby slowing the ripening process and significantly reducing spoilage. Simply put a plastic-colored egg in your produce bin and it goes to work absorbing ethylene gas. It's safe, non-toxic, non-allergenic and inexpensive.
I tested this with produce typically found in our refrigerators, lettuce, arugula, frisee, celery, carrots, onions, shallots, garlic, ginger root, peppers, citrus fruits....all have been given a new lease on life by at least 1-2 weeks! Flavor and texture remain as if recently purchased.
With Healthy Harvest's Freshness Extender you will save money on your food bills. I have. In these days of increasing food prices, this becomes even more important. Get some soon, give them as gifts, everyone will thank you for it.
