A great way to preserve produce and reduce the use of plastic bags …
In the past I’ve had some produce bags, but they haven’t been made of cotton, which is a sustainable resource. Plastic isn’t eco-friendly and they weren’t long-lasting, ultimately ending up in a landfill. There are twelve ringspun cotton drawstring bags, more than enough for most of the produce I generally have on hand. Some produce I have needs refrigeration, while others can be left in bowls on the counter.I’m quite pleased with these 9” x 12” bags as I was able to put a full 5-pounds of red potatoes in one. I plan on taking some of these bags with me if I go to a farmer’s market. When I go to the Asian store, I purchase some fresh produce like my bananas. I do have some ripening, but the green bananas are in one of these bags. These bags are very well-ventilated, something I want for my onions.Then I have produce in the fridge, but these bags can go in there as well. I have extra lettuce and put some of that in a bag. I simple split the head in half, spritzed the lettuce, and put it in a bag. I have a few other things like cabbage that I can do the same thing with. The only thing about using these bags in the fridge, is that they must be placed flat on a shelf so they won’t freeze.I love the quality of these bags. They will be easy to wash by tossing them in a cold-water wash and hung out to dry. There are laundering instructions on the tag, but they differ somewhat from how I launder cotton bags. The price at just under $20 is a bargain (it varies by size). I do want to minimize food waste and keep as far away from plastic as I can. I realize I’ll still be a plastic consumer, but am trying to be as eco-conscious and as green as I can get.SPECS:Pack of 12 Produce Bags9” x 12” (22 cm x 30 cm)100% Premium Ringspun Cotton

Well Made and Saves Money
I sometimes find vegetables in the back of my refrigerator bin that has become moldy or growing sprouts (potatoes). The plastic bags don’t allow any air circulation. It traps condensation, I’ve noticed. These produce bags are cotton, meshed, and have drawstrings. I used it to bag onions and potatoes, and the mesh really does keep the contents aerated. The onions and potatoes are dry but not dried out after a week. Usually in a plastic bag, the potatoes become moist and start sprouting from the eyes. Then I have to throw them away. I didn’t test on lettuce and carrots, because my bags are too small.At this point, I don’t think I am saving the planet by not using plastic bags. Due to the pandemic, grocery stores don’t let you use your own bags. So, I still rebag when I get home. I gave it one fewer star, because the bags shrunk in the wash. They are made of 100% cotton in India. It started out as 10” X 7”, but after wash in cold and tumble dry low, it became 9” X 6”. So , I lost approximately 23% of area. That’s huge. Manufacturer should allow extra length and width for shrinkage, considering the price being paid. If you have a certain item you want to bag, I would order a bigger size to allow for shrinkage. There are 12 bags included. They can also be used for beach items, travel packing, or farmers market. I would still recommend these bags, despite the shrinkage. It can save money, if your vegetables aren’t going to rot.

So many uses- loving them. Soft but sturdy. Nice neutral color.
I love these bags!They are endlessly useful for so many applications around the house storing food items like onions and potatoes or even containing legos from the floor that you see and need to keep together or hair accessories.I love the natural, neutral color and the way they look and feel. The drawstring is very easy to use or even hang on a command hook for vertical storage of separated goods.I find myself using them way more than I thought I would.I own some other bags like this, but one thing I like about this set is that the see through with it’s netting design.They are breathable and soft and nice looking. Even if I buy my onions and potatoes in the bags from the big box store or grocery store they look a whole lot better and stay fresher longer if I store them in these bags in my pantry. It also looks higher class to have these in the pantry all lined up and matching than plastic bags obviously from a discount store.The size is perfect. I already owned a much larger size that was not netting but solid- so having the different bag sizes is perfect.They are machine washable and dryer safe.Made in India.I think they are a good deal for the price.Overall I’d recommend them.

Great produce bags
These are really great for keeping your produce together and getting them out of the plastic. Normally, I have potatoes in a drawer rolling around, and the refrigerated items are rolling around in the drawers. It's nice to keep them together and separated. These are not huge, so you might need a couple of them for each type such as potatoes. There is a drawstring and there is only one side of the string. I like that the individual tag that is sewn on is the color of the canvas bag as it just looks better and earthy. You can use these for all kinds of items to help eliminate clutter if you have things stuffed in closets or drawers. For example I have a bunch of random USB or charger plugins in one drawer that I'm using bags like this to keep together. My son's items such as school supplies and whatnot can go in them or small toys. You could put snack items in there for outings. You could dye these different colors. You could really use them for many things, and I am pleased with them. They are a decent thickness and what I expected not to mention being well made.
