THE POWER OF OYA

Researchers, seeking new and better ways to preserve foods, discovered that for thousands of years,
farmers in some regions of the world had been housing produce in mountain caves with impressive
results. Not only were these caves consistently cool, dry and dark, their composition included a type
of clay called oya, a natural adsorbent of ethylene gas. Ethylene is the gas given off by produce
as it ripens, and then continues to accelerate the natural decay of the food.
But if the gas is adsorbed by the walls of said container...


GREEN BAG™ PERFORMANCE THAT IS OUT OF THIS WORLD

Inspired by the wonders of these mountain caves, Evert Fresh included oya in the development of the
"Original" Green Bags™. They are 100% organic, and they are not only safe for food storage; when used
properly, they extend the life of produce significantly. Since developing the revolutionary product,
Antarctic explorers, the U.S. Navy, even astronauts have used Evert Fresh Green Bags™ to help
preserve fresh produce under the most demanding conditions.
