Cucumber Packaging Without Shrink Wrap

Yellowing and shrivel without shrink wrap.

Cucumbers
The problem

English cucumbers are usually shrink-wrapped to stop water loss. Without that wrap they shrivel and yellow within days, and Persian cucumbers in bags sweat and soften at the ends.

StayFresh film is calibrated to this crop's respiration rate. It lets in just enough oxygen, lets CO2 and ethylene out, and holds humidity where the produce needs it. Packers see 30 to 40% longer shelf life in the cold chain, measured on their own line during the two-week test.
