- Storage of fruits and vegetables has been researched extensively by top food scientists from the University of Florida and Tupperware to develop a line of intelligent containers.
- The Tupperware ACE (Atmosphere Controlled Environment) system creates the optimal environment to keep fruits and veggies fresh for up to twice as long.
- VentSmart Containers have a special three-way venting system that helps regulate the atmosphere inside the container by balancing the flow of oxygen coming in and carbon dioxide going out.
The slider can be used in 3 different positions:
- Half Open: When the slider tab is aligned with the half circle on the pictogram, the small opening in the seal is open for light venting.
- Closed: When the slider tab is aligned with the fully etched circle in the middle of the pictogram, both openings in the seal are closed.
- Fully Open: When the slider tab is aligned with the hollow, glossy circle on the pictogram, the big opening in the seal is open for full venting.
- What’s more?
- The handy produce chart to identify the venting slider position is printed within the layers of the refrigerator storage container so it won’t fade or wash off over time.
- The lid is easy to open thanks to the tab in the corner.
- The built-in grid at the bottom of the base keeps contents away from moisture and ensures air circulation around food.
- The shape of the base is optimized to allow air to flow between containers when stacked.
- When they are not in use, they can nested for compact storage, even between different sizes.
- The VentSmart Medium Low, with a capacity of 1.8L, can keep fruits and vegetables such as:
- asparagus, bean sprouts, beetroot, blueberries, Brussel sprouts, carrot, celery, cherries, chili peppers, figs, fresh herbs, ginger, green beans, Jerusalem artichokes, kohlrabi, leek, lemon or lime, mushrooms, pak choi, peas, radishes, raspberries, rhubarb, spring onions, strawberries, turnips, white or red grapes, white/red grapes, zucchini
