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. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Tare Weight Frustration *by M***E on Reviewed in the United States on June 27, 2014* I only recently purchased these bags and was so happy to find organic cotton since I hate using the plastic grocery bags. I hand washed them in cold water and hung to dry. The fact that they wrinkled didn't bother me in the least (I've read several comments about how they wrinkle..so what? You're not wearing them!); I first used them a few days ago at two separate grocery stores, and when I asked the cashiers about figuring the tare weight, they looked at me as though I had two heads. They checked with managers, and I was told that these stores were not set up to measure tare weight. So...while still loving the fact that I didn't have to use plastic bags, I wasn't pleased to have to then remove the produce from each bag and place it to be weighed (atop a plastic bag the cashier recommended as a solution since, in frustration, I just said to go ahead and weigh them just as they were)! So, the fact that Simple Ecology has now conveniently placed the tare tag on the outside (no-brainer there), is irrelevant to me when it comes to my local grocery stores.However...I look forward to my next trip to Whole Foods (only go about once every couple months due to distance) where factoring tare weight is just everyday business for their cashiers.Although I don't feel I'm quite qualified yet as to how fresh produce remains in these bags, it seems the produce is holding up well so far (has only been a couple days though). I'm somewhat confused by the conflicting comments about the issue of freshness since some report the produce holds up beautifully and others complain of "rotting" or spoiling quicker, etc. I will just have to wait to see for myself. I've just today read that there are many fruits and veggies that should not be refrigerated as it seems they don't "like" total darkness and do better on some sort of circadian rhythm. Have to do more research, but it makes sense. I've never refrigerated tomatoes or sweet potatoes, avocados, bananas, onions, garlic, etc., but now it seems we can keep even more fruits and veggies out!Given the odds, and despite the tare weight issue, I don't doubt I'll be changing my rating to 5 stars; and, regardless, I'm definitely ordering more. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.us/products/3066560-simple-ecology-reusable-grocery-produce-shopping-and-storage-bags-organic](https://www.desertcart.us/products/3066560-simple-ecology-reusable-grocery-produce-shopping-and-storage-bags-organic) --- *Product available on Desertcart United States of America* *Store origin: US* *Last updated: 2026-09-19*
