Shurex Produce Saver Refills are designed to provide a layer of atmospheric control for your refrigerator. These sachets use an alumina-based media that helps neutralize ethylene gas, the hormone that signals many fruits and vegetables to ripen and eventually spoil. This technology is a standard in professional food shipping and has been adapted here for home use.
The 6-pack of refills is sized to fit most standard produce saver housings, including those from other popular brands. The sachet material is built to be durable in the humid environment of a crisper drawer while allowing for the necessary gas exchange to occur. Tests show that these refills work most efficiently in enclosed spaces like drawers, where they can effectively "scrub" the air surrounding your produce.
Performance Features
- Helps maintain the crispness of leafy greens by slowing down the ripening signals from nearby fruits.
- Universal sachet dimensions make them a versatile replacement for various container types.
- Provides a passive filtration system that doesn't require extra space or power.
Organizers will find these a helpful tool for reducing grocery waste. To get the best performance, placing the packet at the top of a container is often recommended to capture gases as they circulate. While the sachet housing is opaque, regular replacement every few months ensures your produce storage system continues to operate effectively.
If you are looking for a complete system that includes both the refills and a protective housing for your fruit bowl, the Bluapple Produce Saver 2-Pack is a great place to start.
