Summer gives the best diet with fruits and vegetables, especially when served chilled. So, it is a season for your refrigerator to store lots of fruits and vegetables. But, do you know, these yummy fruit and vegetables emit ethylene gas when ripen?! And it can speed up the aging and rotting of garden produce when too much ethylene gets trapped inside a well sealed fridge.
Don’t worry! Here is a unique and interesting solution to this. It is the Ethylene Gas Guardian (EGG). This egg shaped container holds in it, a sachet of potassium permanganate bonded to zeolite. The potassium permanganate absorbs the ethylene gas. And the zeolite can hold enough of the oxidizer for having a huge surface area and can make it effective for 3 months. Thus, it extends the shelf life of your favorite fruit and vegetables.
This amazing EGG is available in the UK here and in the US here.
