What customers say
Customers overwhelmingly praise the OXO GreenSaver Produce Keeper for its exceptional ability to extend the freshness of perishable items, calling it a game changer for reducing food waste. The integrated carbon filter and elevated basket effectively manage humidity, keeping delicate produce crisp for extended periods. This functionality delivers tangible monetary savings, justifying the initial cost, especially for organic buyers. Reviewers appreciate the sturdy design and ease of cleaning.

Know before you buy
The container uses an activated carbon filter to absorb ethylene gas, which is the natural gas produce emits that causes it to ripen and spoil prematurely. By filtering this gas out, the container slows down the decay process.
The carbon filters are designed to last for 90 days. The built-in date indicator on the lid helps you track when it is time to swap in a fresh filter to maintain optimal performance.
No, the OXO GreenSaver is not dishwasher safe. We recommend hand washing the container with mild soap and warm water to ensure the plastic and internal components remain in good condition.
The adjustable vent allows you to customize humidity based on the type of produce. Generally, you should keep the vent closed for items that prefer high humidity, like leafy greens, and open it for produce that needs lower humidity, such as certain fruits.
This product is not intended for use in the freezer or the microwave. It is specifically engineered for refrigerator storage to help extend the life of fresh fruits and vegetables.
The elevated basket lifts your produce off the bottom of the container, which promotes better airflow on all sides. This circulation helps prevent moisture buildup and keeps your fruits and vegetables from sitting in their own condensation.
