Loose Produce and Plastic-Free Grocery Shopping

Carry whole fruits and vegetables in reusable bags instead of disposable produce packaging. Keep the bags clean and choose a suitable fabric for the food being carried.

Reusable drawstring bags provide a convenient alternative to disposable produce bags for whole fruits and vegetables. They can be filled directly at the market or supermarket and then carried home, helping keep loose produce grouped together from shopping basket to kitchen.

Lightweight natural cotton works particularly well for apples, peppers, zucchini and other everyday produce. A stronger 144 GSM cotton bag can accommodate heavier items such as potatoes and onions. Mesh is especially convenient for oranges and other produce because the contents remain visible and ventilated, while mesh bags with clips can be easy to carry around farmers’ markets.

Using several reusable bags also makes it simple to separate different fruits and vegetables during a larger grocery trip and then store the empty bags compactly until they are needed again.

Suitable Bag Types:
110 GSM Natural Cotton · 144 GSM Natural Cotton · Mesh · Mesh With Clip
