The ShuRex Produce Saver Kit includes two "saver balls" and a supply of eight refill sachets, providing a long-term solution for managing produce freshness. The balls are constructed from injection-molded polypropylene, which is chosen for its durability and resistance to the humid conditions found in refrigerators. Inside, zeolite pellets work to help neutralize ethylene gas, which is the primary signal that causes fruits like avocados and apples to soften and decay.
The design features a simple snap-fit seam that makes it easy to swap out refills as needed. To get the most out of the unit, placing the ball on top of your produce is recommended, as this positioning helps the pellets capture gases as they rise. This passive system requires no batteries or maintenance beyond the occasional sachet replacement, making it a practical tool for a busy household.
Maintenance and Use
- Includes a bulk supply of 8 refills, which is higher than many standard starter kits.
- Uses a proven oxidizing agent to help stall the ripening process.
- Features a chemically inert housing that is safe for direct contact with fruits and vegetables.
Organizers will find that the "saver ball" is built to withstand daily handling. While it is difficult to see when the internal pellets are spent without opening the ball, the included multi-pack of refills encourages regular maintenance. This kit is a helpful addition to any refrigerator aiming to reduce food waste and keep produce crisp for longer periods.
If you have a Frigidaire appliance with built-in mounts, you may find the Frigidaire Pure Fresh Saver to be a more integrated fit for your specific model.
