purifyouSet of 9 Reusable Organic Cotton Produce Bags – Heavy Duty Double-Stitched Mesh, Unbleached, Drawstring Closure – 2 XL (12x20), 5 L (12x14), 2 S (12x8)

The bags are great.Good qualityI use them for my vegetables

These reusable mesh bags are fantastic. I decided to get them after looking at all the different options on Amazon. One of the reasons why I got them was because they donate a portion of each purchase to help promote sustainable living- I think that’s a great cause. People don’t realize the effect that certain things have on the environment. That’s the same reason why I eliminated plastic bags from the house with reusable shopping bags and switched to eco-friendly swedish dishcloths!Now to talk about the actual bags:Ive been using them for a couple weeks now and they’re holding up great. You can tell that they’re high quality. They’re foldable and compact as well- I have some in the car and some in my bag. Where I live, some of the stores give you a discount too if you opt not to use their plastic bags which is a nice plus! The pull cord to close the bag is also well-made and durable.I use them for a variety of stuff but 80% of the time its produce. I think thats what most people use them for actually. It’s super convenient because you just put them in the bag at the store and then you can put them directly into the fridge like that when you get home. The mesh material is breathable so you don’t have to worry about it going bad. Actually in my experience the product actually stays fresh for longer as opposed to if you have to in a plastic bag.Cleaning isn’t a hassle either since you can throw the bags directly into the washing machine- in fact, that’s one of their selling points. I usually wash them together with my other eco bags in one load with mild detergent. I leave them out to dry afterwards and that’s that. Just don’t put more than three in at a time since the pull cords will tangle…at least thats what it says in the directions. I have a couple of stains on one of the bags from some squished fruit that didn’t really come out but honestly it doesn’t really bother me.I also like how the set comes with multiple sizes. I can pretty much fit anything in them. The largest bag I would say that you can easily fit several pounds of stuff. I know I’ve done that with fruit. The only thing you want to be careful of is sharp points since that can damage the mesh.The only con for me is that the bag is not very translucent which means that the cashier may have trouble scanning your stuff at the till. 9/10 they’ll have to open the bag to get to the scan code which can take longer. That reminds me…remember to get them to ring in the bag weight! The tare weight is on the color tag on the bag. You’ll be paying extra for absolutely no reason otherwise.Overall I would buy them again. Anything to prevent more plastic from ending up in the landfill. Remember guys…those things are going to stay there for hundreds of years!!

Perfect addition to your grocery shopping bags. I love these bags as it means I am doing my part no more plastic to help the environment and keep my produce away from the chemicals in those plastic produce bags. Easy to carry, fill and wash very nicely.

No quibbles with the quality, however not sure about their freshness keeping capabilities. At five days a bunch of fresh chard from the farmers market became soft and wilted, never had that happen before with same bunches of fresh chard. Going to go with it being a fluke for now since it's the only thing I've tried in these bags so far....but, if the wilting issues continue in the garbage these produce bats will go.

These seem nice and all but I thought these were cotton since that was what the others said so I ordered mixed set and got polyester bags.. I think they are decent but cotton was what I actually wanted not a plastic for my food.Update: I received cotton bags these are exactly what I was looking for my produce they are sturdy and well made. It does not feel cheap, the support team was very helpful if resolving the issue I had. I am very happy with these bags I would recommend.Update: The cotton bags are great but the white ones do not hold up well i don’t use them often and after 5 or so washes it’s already coming apart. See photo, the one on the left is coming apart and the one on the right is still okay there are others coming apart.

MULTI-USE:I quickly discovered I could use these bags for produce, making loose leaf tea, fresh juice from blended fruits, aguas frescas (fruit waters), making almond milk (think cheaper nut milk bag!!!), laundry bag for delicate lace, and to use as sack to take SOFT fruit to post-yoga. (What can I say, I love peaches and figs in the summer). This is great since I always disliked fruit after its been in plastic bag, especially my figs, peaches, and other stone fruitHOW IT WORKS:Obviously helps the Earth by reducing plastic use. Also raises awareness when people see you with them. Double win.. This allows your produce to breathe, however not ideal for greens or herbs as they need cool moisture, thus the secret to keeping herbs fresh in the fridge using a damp cloth in an airtight environent. I still put greens in these bags, I just put my greens in the crisper drawer when I get home. Problem solved,WHICH PRODUCE CAN FIT:I think the obvious.. apples, oranges, and other snack size round fruit. I would estimate that I could load up my largest size bag with approximately 7-9 lbs of round fruit. (I say approximate because I fill up about 1/3 of bag with stone fruit and its comes to about 3 lbs), or a 2 person serving watermelon. (Yes, it holds its weight!!! No ripping or busted seams carrying the melons)BIG STUFF?Yupp, It does it. I've fit so far:Whole celery hearts with leaves, 3 extra large romaine lettuce, approximately 15-18 bananas, 5 bunches of 8" long carrots, 3 baskets of strawberries, melons (I'd say about 10 lbs max) large yams. They're very moderately sized.EASY TO CLEAN:I wash these by hand using 7th generation dish soap and that's plenty. I leave them out to dry and they're great. I stained some with strawberries and figs and the stain didn't come out but I don't care. If necessary for my aesthetic pleasure, I can bleach 'em in a whites cycle.VALUE:To be honest, because these are so multi-use, I'd say they're worth every penny plus shipping even if you don't have prime. I bought 2 sets and discovered I can use them for so many things I should have bought 3-4 sets! I feel so much more kind to the Earth now, I feel more responsible, and feeling better about yourself makes you happy. These bags add to my happiness in life. Haha. Buy them for gifts, buy them to help lower that footprint, since, well, plastic doesn't detoriate and you care about the future. Plus, your food doesn't get that weird off plastic after taste which is so refreshing. BUY BUY BUY!!!
