I prefer to buy organic and whole foods when I can but noticed just how short a lifespan an organic wholemeal loaf has in comparison to a white sliced!
So I was happy to try out the Keep Fresh Bags. This wasn't a scientific study as I didn't have a "control loaf" to compare it with, but my bread definitely did last a lot longer!
The bag come in different sizes and are great for potatoes and other vegetables and fruits which are liable to sprout or go off quickly. Considering how much food we waste as a nation, these bags are a great money-saving idea.
According to JML who launched the Keep Fresh Bags, gas-absorbing minerals are embedded into the bags and these block enzymes that cause your spuds and spring onions to spoil and your greens stay nutritious for longer.
The green tinge of the bags reduces light which can zap vitamins. They also maintain a high level of humidity. This prevents water droplets from forming and inhibits the growth of bacteria like fungus and mould.
I hate wasting food and have been very impressed with the Keep Fresh Bags available from ASDA, Boots, Debenhams, WH Smiths and www.JMLdirect.com. At £4.99 a pack they make a sensible investment. They are re-usable just rinse out after use.
