PEAKfresh is modified atmosphere packaging (MAP) made specifically for fruit and vegetables as well
as cut flowers and plants.
With a natural mineral embedded in our products, we are able to modify the
composition of the air surrounding the packaged item in order to extend the initial fresh state of the
product. PEAKfresh has long been used by growers, shippers and retail chains to preserve the
freshness of produce during transit and storage. Most recently, NASA began using PEAKfresh to

GREEN ONIONS (GREEN SHALLOTS)
It is difficult to store commercial quantities of green onions
for more than a few days unless they are kept under
refrigeration. The onions lose moisture content rapidly at
temperatures above 5ºC; the leaves turn yellow and start to
decay quickly. It is possible to store green onions for three to
four weeks at 0ºC (32ºF) if moisture loss can be prevented.
Packaging into polyethylene film liners aids in preventing
moisture loss.
Recommended Post Harvest Temperatures

It is important to pre-cool the onions prior to packing and to remove any surplus moisture as a result of washing.
It is possible to store Green Onions (Green Shallots) beyond three to four weeks and we recommend that the
product be carefully examined before extending the storage time beyond four weeks.
