Today’s blog is sponsored by NatureSeal®.  They sent me samples of their consumer products & compensated me for my time associated with this review.  The opinions are my own. 

NatureSeal-logoThe Produce Mom® very rarely accepts offers for sponsored product reviews & blog posts, but I have a long history with NatureSeal – I sold it for nearly 10 years to grocery stores & fresh cut produce facilities.  I’m thrilled to see them expand their offerings to serve the home kitchen and consumers like you & I.

NatureSeal is an especially awesome product at this time of year because of all the entertaining we do with food!  NatureSeal allows you to prep fresh produce in advance without the unappetizing oxidation/browning of your fruits and vegetables… check out the videos below to learn more!
