What are Gel Bags?

Of course you can Christine.
Gel bags are bags designed especially for storing fruit and vegetables. They do an amazing job of keeping them fresh for longer in the fridge.

You can find them in the wrap aisle of your supermarket, in boxes of 8, for around $2.99. These bags are re-usable, over and over again. I've been using my original 5 (they came in packs of 5 back then) for about 7 years and they are still going strong. Store one type of fruit or vegetable in each bag to keep food not only fresh but usable for up to three weeks.
Great for leafy greens, especially ice berg lettuce that has a tendency towards turning to slime when stored in plastic bags, cabbage and cauliflower.
They are also really handy if you live alone. My mother buys bags of carrots and apples, far too many for her to get through on her own before they go off. When she gets them home she transfers them to her gel bags. She needs to buy more before the apples start to wrinkle or the carrots get hairy. Mum loves not having to freeze the food to keep it and she especially loves not throwing food out because she can't use it fast enough.
I use them along with my Tupperware and Lock'n'Lock containers because they do what they are designed to do and I'm happy to suggest to anyone that they are worth trying.
