 The average American throws away over 300 plastic bags each year. And what’s worse, those bags are only used for an average of 12 minutes but take up to 500 years to degrade in a landfill. Concerning? We think so, too. But there’s one simple thing you can do to combat this: Make the switch from plastic to reusable produce bags.

Are mesh bags good for vegetables?

Reusable drawstring mesh bags provides excellent air circulation to the produce inside, so is prime for thicker skinned fruits and vegetables. For produce that needs this air circulation, such as potatoes, onions, garlic, and tomatoes, place the bag on the countertop or hang it by the drawstring in a cool, dark place (just don’t forget about them for too long). Do NOT store onions and potatoes in the same bag, or in close proximity to one another, as the onions will cause the potatoes to rot.

In the refrigerator, you can store peaches, apples, oranges, squash, carrots, as well as most thick-skinned items in either mesh or muslin bags.

Toss your cotton bags in the washing machine and wash on a gentle cycle, or hand washes, then hang to dry. Make sure the bags are completely dry, then store them in a clean location with good airflow to keep any mildew from forming.
