This glass-top produce container keeps veggies as fresh as the fridge can while it places them front-and-center in the kitchen. The dome keeps moisture in to prevent fruit and veggies from drying out, and the lid allows natural ethylene gas to escape to prevent wilting. Now when they are in sight, these good-for-you foods are more likely to be eaten.

Bluapple with Activated Carbon absorbs and neutralizes the ethylene gas given off by produce to keep it fresh 2-3 times longer than normal, as well as ridding your refrigerator of odors. Just place your Bluapples inside your crisper drawer, on a shelf in your fridge, or in a fruit bowl on the counter, and you're good to go.

This reusable silicone bag cuts down on waste by replacing throwaway plastic baggies. Each is completely plastic-free, and seals up to keep food fresh. Eco-friendly, too, the bag is lunch box-ready, and can go from the pantry into the freezer, microwave, or dishwasher without worry. Is there anything this mighty bag can’t do? Well, it won’t break down like plastic does—or get tossed away.

BagPodz is a reusable bag set that's sturdy and easily organized so you'll always have them on hand. The bags come neatly packed in a compact pod with a clip that you can attach to a shopping cart. At checkout, just unzip and pull out as many bags as you need. A second drawstring opening on the end lets you easily stuff them back into the pod.

The airtight food storage container from Botto adjusts to take up just as much space as it needs, maximizing your cabinet and pantry storage and maintaining the freshness of dry foods. Coffee, tea, herbs, dried fruit and more will last longer thanks to the patented, one-way air valve and UV-blocking design. As you press down and customize the size, excess air comes out—and stays out—with one satisfying swoosh. Made with BPA- and phthalate-free, FDA-grade, food-safe materials.
