We all know the scenario: it’s Mother’s Day (or any holiday), and you’ve brought home a lovely bouquet of flowers to show that loved one how important they are to you. Your gift gets a commensurate reaction, and there the flowers sit for a couple of days, maybe a week with proper care and plant food. Unfortunately, even though your appreciation lasts a lifetime, the symbol of them does not, and these once beautiful blooms are eventually tossed in the bin.
One of the biggest challenge in the floral industry, whether you’re a producer, a seller, or just a customer is keeping product fresh as it is harvested, transported, and ultimately enjoyed in one’s home. The reason for this is chemical, as flowers produce ethylene gas that triggers decay within a matter of days. Orchids and lilies are particularly sensitive to ethylene gas. Finally, someone has developed the technology that allows flowers to stay fresh and alive longer by eliminating ethylene gas. BerryBreeze™ is an innovative company that provides a revolutionary solution to flower storage and care using an uncomplicated combination of science and nature.
The game-changing technology behind BerryBreeze involves the use of activated oxygen, or ozone. In the natural world, activated oxygen-rich environments at high altitudes around the globe have produced thriving regions of all types of vegetation. This is due to its unique effect on ethylene gas, which by eliminating it allows plants to grow and last longer. In addition to eliminating ethylene gas, activated oxygen sanitizes and purifies the air, killing natural threats such as molds and bacteria. What works in nature can now work in any number of floral storage systems thanks to BerryBreeze. This hand held mechanism uses an algorithm that releases a measured amount of activated oxygen into the storage area sufficiently to create a clean, sanitized, and odor-free environment. This battery-operated machine uses a timing sequence to maintain a consistent level in the enclosed area. In two studies commissioned by the FDA, internationally-recognized activated oxygen experts Dee Graham and Rip Rice determined that limited regular exposure to activated oxygen posed no risk to humans and enhanced the shelf-life of other organic materials.
BerryBreeze is a viable solution for both commercial and home use. Just as commercial growers and sellers are realizing the benefits of this technology, savvy consumers are increasingly seeing the value in making their dollar go further. They are willing to pay a premium for items that extend the life of all perishables, and take the sting out of the initial price point. Whether at the florist, the office, or the home, BerryBreeze’s patented technology provides a simple and effective solution that adds more vavoom to your blooms!
