bart78 I prefer plastic myself as it keeps them much fresher,paper tends to absorb liquids which is not so good. but yes i keep them in plastic and in the produce drawer too which is specially for fruits and veggies too.

I think it is a good idea.How long does it keep fresh? There are these fridge bags available in the market with zippers,are they effective too.I would definitely like my fruits and vegetables to be fresh and would try your method henceforth.Thanks.

well, it depends really on the fruits and vegies, for fruits that has softer skin like strawberry they last 2-3 days in cold temp. of your fridge while those had normal skin fruits like apple, guava, pears they last almost a week, now for the vegies it depends again, for leafy vegies my longest experience is 5 days but those regular vegies they last a week or so and still fresh...
