Ambrosia Bag

Flax fibers absorb moisture very well, in fact, linen fabric can absorb up to 20% of its own weight in water!

Flax linen... has hollow structure fibers that allows for air to flow in and out of Ambrosia Bags. The lack of oxygen stops respiration (breathing) and decay of the produce will set in causing yucky slime. Whats more, absence of oxygen can cause fermentation to occur which will produce strong off flavors. The unique hollow fibers of flax linen also take in environmental temperatures. Refrigeration of damp linen Ambrosia bags, stored inside the vegetable drawer, allows the hygroscopic nature of flax fibers to remain moist. Ambrosia flax linen bags inhibit the formation of ethylene gas to prolong the life and freshness of produce. Most vegetables and fruit release ethylene gas after harvest, a natural process which accelerates aging and ultimate deterioration of produce.
