"Ethylene
gas is given off by all living plants, especially by fruits, vegetables
and flowers, and acts as a chemical signal to speed up the ripening
process. The release of this gas is thought to be a mechanism by which
plants promote uniform ripening or opening, etc. In nature, the
uniformity of these events attracts the maximum number of pollinators or
seed disseminators, such as birds and insects. At home, however, when
you store your fruits and vegetables in the refrigerator, ethylene gas
builds up. As a result the ripening process is accelerated too quickly.
This is a major reason we all throw out so much spoiled produce!"
So the true test was to see if actually worked. I filled my drawer up with produce. I put the two blue apples in my produce drawer and see if it would work. I actually noticed that my Banana's ripe way to fast and they do not last only 3-4 days with this one it lasted longer and we actually did not have to wait any. They are a great feature and I would definitely recommend these.
