The Elizabowl Fruit Holder

The fruit that rotates in and out of our household varies quite often. But once home, we always have a problem storing it. Bowls cause bruising, the refrigerator can alter taste, and we just don't have space for those hanging mesh baskets. But it appears our prayers have been answered with the Elizabowl and the super cool video of how it works...

The Elizabowl was created by Sarah K. O’Brien and holds a dozen pieces of fist sized fruit in it's expandable and collapsible pockets. They keep fruit away from each other allowing it to breathe without being crushed. Check out the video below to see it in action. We can't lie... we watched it more than once.
