Another hot new eco product, another way to reduce and reuse!  I’m thrilled to have found these brand new reusable organic cotton mesh produce bags for our family’s grocery shopping needs and for our Kai Kids online store!  They really fit all of our criteria (and we are picky!):

  •  eco-friendly: reusable and so you can cut down or stop using those filmy plastic produce bags at the store
  • organic: Credo was previously making cotton bags but just introduced this new line made from 100% certifiled organic cotton (from Turkey), which means no nasty pesticide residues tainting your tomatoes
  • ethically-manufactured: the yarn for the bags is spun in Montreal, Quebec, and the bags are also sewn there under excellent labour conditions
  • Canadian:  made by a Montreal company, voila!

These produce bags come in two sizes, small (great for apples, pears, peaches, green beans, lemons, onions, garlic, peppers etc. and large (perfect for lettuce, kale, corn, broccoli, grapefruit).  They are machine washable and have a convenient drawstring enclosure so you won’t lose any of your fruit or veggies coming home from the grocery store or farmer’s market. They are also super-light so won’t add cost at the cash register when weighing your produce!

Just in time for earth day, one more way to help keep your family, and the planet, healthy!  Give them a try!
