Product Information

Full details

These heavy-duty paper potato sacks are designed for gardeners and home cooks looking for a breathable and natural way to store their potato harvests. The key benefit is enhanced airflow, which significantly reduces sweating and the risk of rot, keeping potatoes fresher for longer. A minor caveat is that for best results, potatoes should be dried before storage and sacks kept in cool, dark conditions.

Troubleshooting

Potatoes showing signs of moisture or sweating

Ensure potatoes were thoroughly dried before bagging. Check storage location for temperature and humidity levels; move to a cooler, drier spot if possible.

Sack tears easily

Avoid overfilling the sack. Distribute the weight of the potatoes evenly. Handle the filled sack with care, lifting from the base rather than the top.

Potatoes are spoiling quickly

Verify storage temperature is consistently below 10°C and the area is dark. Remove any spoiled potatoes immediately to prevent spread.

Care:
