Enjoy a Fresher Fridge with Frigidaire CrispSeal Crisper Drawers

No one enjoys throwing away spoiled food, particularly when your produce was still fresh and appealing in the grocery store just a few days ago. You feel guilty and wasteful, but what options do you have when your refrigerator just won't keep fruits and vegetables fresh? In an effort to minimize food waste and preserve produce longer, Frigidaire's CrispSeal Fresh Crispers offer advanced technology designed to preserve the texture, color, and life of your produce. Here are all the fantastic ways that CrispSeal will work for you and your food.

First of all, you won't need to worry about adjusting the humidity toggle normally found on most crisper bins. The refrigerator can do it all for you with a new blue CrispSeal designed to block dry air from entering. Now, the seal working alone would cause too much humidity and lead to soggy fruits and vegetables, so this is where the Auto Humidity Control comes into play. This one-way moisture regulator pulls out excess moisture and leaves an ideal humidity level with no toggle needed. It works automatically and never needs to be replaced.

Finally, the back of the crisper houses the built-in Produce Keeper Plus filter, an antioxidant ethylene filter that preserves produce color and reduces ethylene gas and odors. All fruits and vegetables emit ethylene, a natural gas which causes produce to ripen. Have you ever softened an avocado by placing it in a paper bag with an apple? It's because apples are a notorious fruit in the ethylene world, and the trapped ethylene gas allows the avocado to ripen quickly. However, this trick only works when it's timed just right. Overexposure to ethylene can cause produce to overripen and spoil prematurely. Ever wonder how your bananas arrive to the grocery stores at peak ripeness? It's because the trucks are lined with ethylene absorbers to prevent unwanted ripening between the farm and grocery store aisles. In a traditional crisper, ethylene builds up with nowhere to go, but a CrispSeal Fresh Crisper allows this gas to be absorbed by the included air filter for longer-lasting produce and less waste. That ethylene absorber technology is right inside your crisper drawers to keep your berries plump and your lettuce crisp.

Frigidaire put these crispers to the test. In a blind freshness study conducted by Clemson University's Food, Nutrition, and Packaging Sciences lab, three sets of multi-door refrigerators were put to the test to see how well the produce retained its weight and color. All three were stocked with apples (a major ethylene producer), green leafy lettuce (high in water content to measure humidity retention) and broccoli (which turns yellow as it ages). Not surprisingly, the Frigidaire CrispSeal Crispers kept the produce at its peak freshness for longer than the competitors.
