The “Stay – Fresh” Fridge Mate
You have doubtless noticed how sometimes the fresh fruit and vegetables you have just bought stay fresh for ages but at other times they are ‘past their best’ even the day after purchase! Both standard and organic produce can suffer the same wasteful fate and an average family could be throwing away £200 - £300 every year on spoiled fruit, veg, and salad. The reason for this strange phenomenon is well-known and perfectly logical – and it is a gas naturally produced by the fruit and vegetables themselves called ETHYLENE. This gas is the plant’s ‘hormone’ which regulates the ripening of fruits in nature. It also accelerates the ageing process, eventually leading to rotten produce. Ethylene gas is actually used by certain areas of the food industry to produce the predictable ripening of produce when it is needed to go to market or to the supermarket shelves. When fruit or vegetable produce is placed close together – for example in a fruit bowl, or, worse still in a refrigerator – the ethylene builds up and ‘tells’ the fruit and veg. to ripen and rot. But now there is something you can do to help avoid this waste of food and money. The ’stay fresh’ unit uses molecular sieve technology to efficiently absorb this ethylene gas from the vicinity in which it is placed and it is particularly effective within the enclosed airspaces of your refrigerator, salad drawer or covered fruit bowl, etc. With no ethylene to cause over-ripening, your food will now stay fresh and crisp for MUCH longer than before.
The small attractive (3 x 5 cm) “stay fresh” unit is constructed of stainless steel with refillable molecular sieve* granules. The unit needs no power source and with care should last a lifetime. The unit can be placed anywhere within the fridge or other airspace where air can circulate freely around it. To be sure of full protection and to get rid of 'fridge smell' - refrigerator smell, we recommend that the molecular sieve refill granules are changed every 12 months or so. These granules are entirely non – toxic, 100% safe and can be disposed of with your normal household waste.
Fresh and crisp or limp and wilted – it’s up to you!
