Well, I suppose we'll never now the entire story...trade secrets and all.<BR/><BR/>The package says the following:<BR/><BR/>"They absorb and remove damanging gases: Most fruits, vegetables and flowers release ethylene gases during the natural ripening process after harvest. Exposure of the produce to these gases accelerates aging and deterioration."<BR/><BR/>Personally, I take comfort in the fact that the package says that they're re-usable. If they were lined with some sort of chemical to reduce aging, I imaging it would wear off over time and the bags would not be re-usable.Daiquirihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06040557437955969295noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3648926369091231553.post-42051755076484296362008-07-15T01:52:00.000-06:002008-07-15T01:52:00.000-06:00Okay - but WHY do they work?My boyfriend wants to ...Okay - but WHY do they work?<BR/><BR/>My boyfriend wants to get those bags because we are both terrible about eating produce before it's bad. <BR/>I asked him what did he think makes the bags keep produce fresh. <BR/>He said, "I dunno.
