These universal air-tight lids turn regular food bowls into vacuum-packed containers

There’s this hilariously true Seinfeld bit about milk. Buying milk isn’t a financial transaction… it’s a race between you and the milk’s expiration date. The minute you pay for the milk, the clock starts ticking and it’s just a matter of who gets to the milk first… you? Or that use-by date! This is true for practically every grocery item you buy. Avocados spoil in days, wine spoils in weeks, and dried food like nuts or cornflakes can spoil in months. We, as a species, waste 1.3 billion tonnes of food each year… a large portion of that is is attributed to food that gets spoilt sitting in the fridge. There’s no escaping the use-by date, but there’s one way of pushing it further… by limiting your food’s contact with air.

Foods spoil/age either by being exposed to bacteria in the air, or by oxidizing in the presence of, well, oxygen. By eliminating air out of the equation, the Freshy! vacuum lids help significantly slow that process down. The Freshy! vacuum lids are a set of universally fitting circular lids that turn any regular bowl, mug, can, or container into a vacuum-sealed one. Armed with a handy pump that can create a vacuum within the container in just 5 seconds, Freshy’s glass lids sport a silicone-sealant that helps keep food fresher for longer by increasing their shelf life by as much as 700%! This means cooked meals and leftovers can last as long as 10 days, fruits as long as 2 weeks, cheeses for nearly two months, and your favorite coffee grounds for as long as an entire year. The lids sit flat on any container/vessel with a smooth circular rim, and the pump immediately creates an impermeable seal while removing all the air from inside the container. The lids come in a variety of sizes, and are designed to fit into shelves when not in use, and slide right into the dishwasher after usage. Each lid also sports a proprietary cap/valve that you can pop open to break the vacuum when you want to remove the lid… and the series also includes an air-tight bottle stopper that helps prevent your wine from going flat by pausing the oxidation process.

Together, the lids help achieve a few key things. They keep food fresher naturally for longer, allowing you to eat fresh and healthy always. They also extend the shelf life of foods, eliminating food waste in the longer run – and also saving big bucks because you don’t need to keep buying fresh food every 2-3 days to restock your fridge. They also give you a significant advantage in your race against the expiration date, allowing you to cheat your way into eating fresh, tasty food at your own convenience. That sounds pretty nice, doesn’t it?
