FoodSaver Fresh Appliance Keeps Foods Fresh Up To Two Times Longer

There’s no doubt that home cooking with fresh ingredients presents a variety of benefits. However, shopping for them can become expensive, especially when looking at the shocking amount that often goes to waste. On average, over 20 percent of food is wasted in the U.S., which is over $500 a year worth of fruits, vegetables and grains individually. To protect that food investment, the FoodSaver® introduced the new FoodSaver Fresh Appliance, a small vacuum sealing appliance ideal for preserving refrigerator and pantry ingredients, as well as on-the-go snacks.

Specially-designed for use with FoodSaver Fresh Containers and Zipper Bags, the new FoodSaver Fresh Appliance is a compact powerhouse. At just 5.5 inches wide by 11 inches tall, taking similar counter space as a one-cup coffee brewing system, it will seal in freshness and keep foods fresh up to twice as long compared to non-vacuum sealing storage methods.

Ordinary food storage methods trap air with food, causing foods to lose flavor and nutrition. The new FoodSaver Fresh Appliance quickly removes air from specially designed FoodSaver Fresh Containers and Vacuum Zipper Bags to help preserve fresh foods and allow consumers to prep grab-and-go snacks or ingredients for cooking ahead of time, knowing they will taste just as fresh later on.

“There is nothing more frustrating than buying fresh food from the market only to have your produce, grains and cold cuts go bad days later,” says Lori H. Gonzalez, FoodSaver Brand Vice President and General Manager. “This is an easy and effective food management system any home cook can embrace, finding endless uses for the FoodSaver Fresh Appliance to keep food fresher, save money and finally to help preserve the shelf life of the foods that you grab on a daily basis.”

The FoodSaver Fresh Appliance retails for $99.99 and is available online at FoodSaver.com. Features include an adjustable vacuum head and base, which are customizable to support the proper placement of the container or bag for sealing; a green ready-indicator light that signals when the container or bag is ready to seal; a one-touch start button and automatic stop that simplifies the vacuum sealing process and allows for one-handed operation; and the removable liquid reservoir, which makes for easy cleaning and maintenance.
