In combination, comprising a completely enclosed and sealed bag formed of a flexible, substantially gas impervious plastic film material, said bag having front and back side walls which are spaced relatively far apart intermediate the length thereof and converging downwardly to form a relatively narrow bottom portion and converging upwardly to form a relatively narrow top portion, produce enclosed within said bag and occupying a substantial portion of the bag\s interior in a vertical direction, absorbent means within said bag in which said produce has been grown from seed, said absorbent means being positioned within the confines of said relatively narrow bottom portion whereby at least some of any moisture that has collected at said relatively narrow bottom is absorbed by said absorbent means and reused by the produce to compensate for the moisture lost by transpiration and at least an upper portion of said produce being positioned between said upwardly converging side walls, and means for storing and preserving said bag and produce in a refrigerated environment in which a temperature differential is apt to exist on the surface of the bag.
