Anyone use Debbie GreenBags

Was wondering if these bags could help in the curing process?

I'm sure they are not going to be great for odor control but seems to me that this would help eliminate some of the burping process. Wondering if you can dry, then put directly in these bags for a few weeks and eliminate the need to burp jars, just put in the jars after the cure.

We put the DRIED buds in jars, to maintain the moisture level, so I doubt they would work for CURING. I'm not sure 100% tho.

i saw a news report that showed those things were crap.

i personally wouldnt put my herb in the same drawer as those things.

Check the web site out, the idea is to put DRIED fruits and veggies and these bags keep the moisture level stable same gen idea as jars only difference is that the bags will allow some types of gasses from the herb to escape instead of like the jars that you have to burp to let the gasses escape.

I was wondering if you could leave the herb in the bags without having to burp during cure time since the idea behind the burping is to allow the gasses from the chlorophyll escape so is doesn't ruin the flavor.

I know the basics about the bag, they are made from a material that will allow some molecules to escape but not others, so the gasses the item (fruit, herb, meat, ect) releases that help in the breakdown of the item are allowed to escape out of the bag but humidity can be maintained since the bag will not allow H2O to pass through it.



I know some people that have used these for their fruits and they have said good things about the bags, reason it even crossed my mind, so I have not heard anything negative about these bags, please enlighten me on why the new reports are saying they are bad news? I wouldn't want to use something that would harm the food/herb I put in it.

we also burp the jars because when we cure we are slow drying the herb. you might have herb that feels dry on the outside, but is still gooey on the inside. putting the semi-dry herb in the jar overnight makes the moisture in the center of the herb more evenly distributed between the middle of the bud, the outside of the bud, the the air in the jar. when you burp you change the air in the jar for drier air and the process is repeated. this dries the herb super-slow so certain metabolic processes can still take place in the herb. i dont think this would happen with these bags.

and the news shit i saw just put some veggies in the bags, put them in the fridge, and they didnt perform at all like advertised.

Thanks for the reply, I understand that is part of the cure process, these bags maintain a humidity level just as you are explaining. These bags trap the humidity the dry herb would release, I'm sure you might have to maintain a moisture level like you do in the jars to make sure that the moisture in the center doesn't get the herb too wet, trust me I understand the cure process and why we are doing it. Just trying to find a more hands off approach to curing to prevent human error, like forgetting to burp I have found forgetting is not very helpful to flavor! LOL

My biggest question is, can these bags work? Are they designed to allow the gasses WE want removed to escape the bag, while at the same time allowing the herb to maintain a proper moisture level (in other words not get over dried). I'm smart enough to THINK they might work based on the manufactures explanation of how the bags work, but not smart enough to know the science behind why it will work for herb, looking for the smart person that can tell me the science behind it working or not for herb.


I am planning to give it a try, I am still far enough out that if someone HAS tried then and found them a waste of time then it could save me the time of experimenting or if someone has a trick they use with them I might be able to speed up the learning curve with them, ect.

I doubt if it will work with herb, but I can tell you I have 1 for bannanas, and it works like a charm, makes them last 4 or 5 days longer
