Q: Can a FridgeSmart food container really extend the life of fruits and vegetables?
A: Yes. It features an air circulation system designed to maintain freshness for the specific type of produce you're storing. This system has been rigorously tested and is proven to extend 'best by' dates by up to three weeks. (Freshness duration varies by produce type.)
Q: How do I know which vent setting to use for the most effective produce storage?
A: The illustrated venting guide on each container shows which fruits and veggies require an open (empty circle), half-open (half circle), or closed (full circle) vent. Some foods, such as bananas and tomatoes, shouldn't be stored in the fridge and are marked with an "X" on the venting guide.
Q: Should produce be washed, peeled, or sliced before it's stored in the fruit and vegetable containers?
A: Avoid washing produce before storing to minimize moisture getting into the containers. Food stays fresh longer when not peeled, sliced, or cut before storing.
Q: What kinds of produce can be stored in the containers?
A: They can store a wide range of produce, including greens, berries, root vegetables, and herbs.
Q: How can I be sure that I recognize the type of produce shown on the venting guide?
A: Check for the online user instructions by scanning the QR code, which is printed on the venting guide
Q: Can I store different types of produce in the same container?
A: Yes, as long as they belong to the same group of fruits or veggies and have the same venting needs.
Q: Can my containers be stored in the freezer?
