Natural Elements Potato Bag with Blackout Lining
Hessian (jute) potato sack with a breathable blackout liner and drawstring top that blocks light to prevent sprouting while letting potatoes breathe.
About
The KitchenCraft Natural Elements Potato Bag is a rustic 24 x 24 cm hessian (jute) sack designed to keep potatoes fresh for longer without sprouting. Its outer layer is a natural, breathable jute printed with "Potatoes," while an inner blackout liner blocks out the light that triggers greening and sprouting. A drawstring top keeps the contents enclosed, and the bag can either sit on a shelf or hang from a hook. It is part of KitchenCraft's eco-conscious Natural Elements range, which favors sustainable natural materials over plastic packaging.
How It Works
Potatoes deteriorate quickly when exposed to light and trapped moisture: light causes them to turn green and produce sprouts, while a sealed plastic bag traps humidity and speeds up rot. This bag addresses both problems at once. The blackout liner keeps the interior dark to slow sprouting and greening, while the porous hessian and liner still allow air to circulate so the potatoes can breathe and excess moisture can escape. Pulling the drawstring closed maintains the dark environment, and storing the bag in a cool, well-ventilated spot recreates the conditions of a traditional root cellar, extending the storage life of your potatoes.
Key Features
- Keep the drawstring closed to maintain the light-blocking effect that prevents sprouting.
- Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated spot; avoid warm areas near ovens or radiators.
- Do not store potatoes alongside onions, as they release gases that speed up spoilage in each other.
- Approximately 24 x 24 cm; sits on a shelf or hangs from a hook to save counter space.
- Made of natural jute, so brush out any dirt or debris rather than machine washing.
- Matching onion and general vegetable bags are available in the same Natural Elements range.
