Plastic Party Lady

When I first got my Tupperware Business Kit last spring, there were a couple of products in it that I was initially skeptical of. One of those was my FridgeSmart produce container. It claimed to extend the life of fruits and vegetables. I figured it was a sales gimmick….until I tried it out for myself on some strawberries.

Normally, strawberries will only last a few days in my refrigerator. Whatever berries remain uneaten turn to soggy, moldy mush by about day 4. Not this time, though! After a full week in the fridge in this container, the strawberries were still firm and juicy.

So what’s the magic here? There are two key features on the FridgeSmart containers that help keep produce fresh longer. First of all, those little white buttons on the front are used to open and close the vents, which controls the amount of airflow to your food. Different fruits and vegetables require different amounts of air for optimal storage. A storage chart is printed on the side of the container (all sizes except the small), which will tell you how much air various types of produce need. The other snazzy feature of the FridgeSmart is the ridged base, which elevates your produce out of any moisture that might condense and collect on the bottom of the container. This keeps it crisper and fresher.

I am a total FridgeSmart convert. This is one of my very favorite Tupperware product lines. They are a fantastic value. And mine actually save me money since I’m not tossing out rotten vegetables anymore!
