Potato & Onion Sprout-Free Vegetable Storage Bags - White

These bags are great for storing potatoes and onions

I just want to say that these bags do the job when it comes to keeping your potatoes and onions fresh! I've used mine for months now and they definitely work. I've never had potatoes or onions spoil inside these bags. As for the potato bag, it's true you cannot get 10 pounds of potatoes into the bag. I definitely recommend them!

These produce bags were low cost and seem to be what we need to store our potatoes and onions in our closet, out of the way... and keep them from sprouting or spoiling. They seem fine now, but have not had them for very long.

I think the way you use these will definitely affect your perception of how "good" they are. I was looking for something to keep my potatoes and onions "fresher" and more handy than a plastic bag from the grocery. I really hate throwing spuds in the back of a cabinet or drawer and then discovering one or more when the smell alerts you to the problem. The other "real" issue for me was not only sprouting, but potatoes that turn green. For those who care, potatoes turn green when exposed to light. This can occur when they are still in the ground or after being marketed and you have them at home. This is important (to me anyway...) because green potatoes are somewhat poisonous. That is to say that a potato that is turning green indicates the presence of solanine which is a systemic poison. If you doubt what I say... look it up. These bags because of their dark interior form a sort of "blackout" condition inside the bag. This will keep the formation of solanine to a minimum as long as the potatoes are not already green when they go into the bag.So, how do the bags work.?? Well, pretty good. I am certainly happy with my results. I have noticed NO green potatoes since I started using these bags about two months ago. Sprouting seems to be reduced too, although potatoes will still sprout in the dark, just like they do in the ground. Potatoes need to be kept cool, dry, and dark. These bags will certainly help with that process. In addition, the bags are quite attractive and do not offend me when seen laying about on the counter or an open shelf or a hanging basket.The bag for onions seems to work well too. Truthfully, if you allow any root vegetable to lay around for weeks at a time, the chances are there will be some spoilage. These bags won't keep me from being stupid, but they do offer a clean and light free way to store my spuds and onions. I am very pleased.Five stars for a good storage bag that seems to function as designed. Perfect..?? No, but then nothing ever is...

These are super nice. Well made and they have the black liner. Not thin at all.When I first saw thw size I figured there was no way 10 pounds of potoes would fit. I have a 5 pound of restaurant potatoes and and 3 pound of sweet pototoes and they were not small.I got all 8 pounds in the bag as you can see from the picture. So 10 pounds of regular pototoes would fit with no problemI highly recommend them. Getting a set for my mom

Already gave them away as they were a bit smaller than I wanted. If using them for a smaller number of potatoes and onions these are a wonderful value and do help the produce stay fresh. It is definitely food quality material with a nice thickness and design which is definitely reuseable.

Don’t quite understand the bad reviews. Have had these bags for over a year now and love them. Stores 5 lbs of potatoes. I usually buy onions a few at a time. No problems with either bags or with potatoes and onions going bad. . I keep them in my pantry. Love the side opening. I make sure the drawstring is pulled as tight as possible. Anyway, they work for me.

The bags did not keep the potatoes from sprouting, which was my purpose for buying them. The bag could not keep the light entirely out because it does not completely close tight. I did like the zippered side that made it easy to remove the potatoes from the bag.
