Best Storage Tips with Muslin Produce Bags

Bring Muslin Produce Bags to the Store

Use the muslin bags in place of disposable plastic produce bags. These bags are ideal for leafy greens like spinach or lettuce, as well as thinner skinned produce, like cauliflower or berries.

Rinse off Leafy Greens at Home

This will wash off any residue from the store and transportation, as well as give the greens a kick of moisture.

Place the Damp Greens Back in the Bag

The residual moisture on the greens is soaked up by the bag, which will keep them fresh and crisp longer than a plastic bag. The damp bag has the same effects as wrapping the produce in a wet paper towel.

Store Other Produce in a Dry Bag

Any other produce that needs refrigeration will do just fine in a dry muslin bag in the fridge.

Bring Muslin Bags to the Store for Bulk Shopping

Use the muslin bags in place of disposable plastic produce bags. They can hold large amounts of bulk foods without any falling out with the use of the drawstring. Using a washable marker, write the Bulk Number straight onto the bag, and fill it up.

Transfer to an Airtight Container

Once home, easily transfer all your bulk goods into jars or containers by holding the bag by two corners and tilting while the food pours out.

Store in the Cupboard or Pantry

Close up the container to preserve the freshness, and the bulk food is all ready to go. Then just throw the bag into the wash to remove the marker for your next shopping trip.

Definitely worth buying if you don’t use plastic bags
All and all I’m glad I purchased these 3 months ago. Living in CA I’ve put them to good use. They’re easy to re-fold and tick away. They hold a lot in terms of volume and weight. I had 6 wine bottles in one yesterday with no issue! 1 star deducted because a couple of them started tearing at the pocket where the bag folds back up in to. This doesn’t affect the carry bag part but since it doesn’t fold up and tuck away into my purse like it did before, I don’t use the ripped ones much.

    I bought these bags to use to replace plastic for storing produce in the refrigerator. The bags seem excellent for my purposes... sturdy and reasonable sizes. I gave them a 4 now based on quality of cloth and construction. After using them for several months, I was able to raise that evaluation to a 5. Vegetables stored in these bags stay fresh longer than in any container I've ever used...even cilantro and other delicate greens stay fresh for days longer than with other containers.

    The information on the website says "Great for all produce - fruits, vegetables, grains and flour. An excellent bag for storing produce in the refrigerator. When stored in a damp bag, greens stay crisp for days." But when the bags arrived, there were no detailed instructions and no information about use. After a bit of confusion because I first emailed the wrong company, I got the following helpful information from a Simple Ecology representative. I hope they can include similar information along with bags in the future.

    Here's what the rep said in that email:

    Here's how we use the muslin produce bags and why:
    We use the bags for shopping (dry) and when we get home we spray off the delicate greens (lettuce, basil, green beans, etc.), put them back into the bag wet, and place them in the refrigerator crisper drawers. The bag will become moist from the drops on the veggies, and this forms a humid tent around them, keeping them from wilting and drying out as fast. Sort of like the spray misters that keep veggies moist at some grocery stores. They stay crisp much longer in the moist bags. Veggies and fruit with thick skins like cucumbers, zucchini, apples don't have this issue so we just store them in the bag dry.

    Here's why:
    Modern refrigerators have a frost free feature that keeps the air inside very dry (I remember having to defrost the refrigerator :-( ). This quickly wilts delicate greens. Using plastic bags kept the moisture inside the bag so they didn't wilt as fast but also kept the gases inside that accelerates rotting, resulting in the slimy mess you find in a bag that was lost in the back of the drawer for weeks. The muslin bags keep things moist yet allow them to breath, the best of both worlds.

    It really keeps my greens - lettuce, romaine, kale, cucumbers fresh and crisp for so long!!! If anything starts to wilt, just run the whole bag under water, or rinse the greens inside and stick it back in the fridge - voila! Crisp and Fresh again! I have noticed that natural produce colors can stain the bags (like beets, soil, etc), but they are easy to wash and line dry. I like the variety of sizes, perfect for the variety of things I buy!

    Bought an assortment ranging from XS - XL - the XL bags are especially great for lettuces and leafy greens.

    I like that my produce is no longer wrapped in plastic nor does it touch the dirty conveyor belt at checkout.

    These can be reused multiple times and are easily washable.

    The only downside is that they are opaque and cashiers need to peek into each bag to see the contents. This can be a bit of a hold up, but not the end of the world. Bags made out of a netted material may be better in this case.

    These Simple Ecology produce bags are exactly what I was hoping for (maybe even better)! We'd already made the switch to reusable grocery bags, but I was growing more and more irritated by the massive number of flimsy, obnoxious plastic produce bags that still always seemed to collect under our kitchen sink. I purchased these on a whim hoping it would help combat the problem, a little worried they'd be kind of tedious to use, but they've exceeded my expectations in terms of convenience and quality. The organic unbleached cotton is a sustainable choice, but it's also been really sturdy and washes well. I love these so much that I'm coming back to buy two more sets!

    Some tips:
    -Having the tare weight printed right on the outside tag is a huge plus, because the cashier can easily deduct the extra weight from your total! A couple of cashiers have given me attitude about not knowing how to do so, but I've learned to embrace the teaching opportunity. In the interest of brevity, I've had the managers of the grocery stores I frequent most often write out directions on a notecard which I had laminated to hand the cashiers if they are unsure how to tare the register.
    -I also carry a washable marker in my purse to write the skew number right on the bag when purchasing dry goods in bulk. Washes off in the washer without problem!

    Unfortunately these don't work for keeping my produce fresh. I wanted to be more eco friendly but throwing out wilted, wrinkly vegetables after 3 days in these bags is just not good enough. I NEVER had fresh produce spoil this quickly before using these bags. Nothing else has changed, same fridge, same growers market. I also tried reaching out to the company to see if they could give some advice on using these bags, no one bothered to reply. What a waste of money!

    These are great for anyone trying to live a more sustainable life. The three different sizes and great and they are easy to clean. It's nice that they have the tare weight on them as well. They don't necessarily keep your produce as fresh in the fridge as a plastic bag from the grocery store, but I always just put my produce into glass or plastic tupperwares to store in the fridge.

    I am in love with those bags. I bring them at stores to buy my produce and just throw them in the refrigerator when I get home and it keeps my produce fresh much longer than in regular plastic bags. Those bags have saved me a lot of trips to the grocery store because I can buy lots of vegetables and fruits at a time and know that they will last me a few weeks.

    J'adore ces sacs. Je les amène avec moi à l'épicerie pour acheter mes fruits et légumes et je met mes sacs directement dans mon frigo. Mes fruits et légumes restent frais bien plus longtemps que dans des sacs en plastics, ce qui me sauve du temps et de l'argent puisque je peux acheter plus de fruits et de légumes à la fois et ainsi réduire le nombre de fois que je vais au magasin en voiture.

    These are very versatile. Although I keep them inside my cloth shopping bag and use them mostly for produce, I use them for other purposes as well.

    They are sewn well and the drawstring works well so far, even after multiple washings. I just add them to my regular wash cycle and hang to dry.

    I've also used them to store vegetables in the fridge. I'm thinking of getting another set or two: one set to give as a hostess gift and one set to use when giving gifts.
