Abstract

A container for preserving food items includes a sidewall extending from a sidewall base, the sidewall defining an open interior space and a rim of the sidewall defining an opening in the container, the opening providing access to the open interior space. The container is constructed of an organic cotton fabric having a density of about 6-10 ounces per square yard (oz./sq. yd.).

1 . A container for preserving food items, comprising;
 a sidewall extending from a sidewall base, the sidewall defining an open interior space; and   a rim of the sidewall defining an opening in the container, the opening providing access to the open interior space,   wherein the container is constructed of an organic cotton fabric having a density of about 6-10 ounces per square yard (oz./sq. yd.).   
     
     
         2 . The container of  claim 1 , wherein the fabric is a woven structure of warp and fill yarns. 
     
     
         3 . The container of  claim 2 , wherein the fill yarns have a denier (d) of at least 400 d and the warp yarns have a denier of at least 50 d. 
     
     
         4 . The container of  claim 1 , wherein the fabric is a light to medium duty fabric having an abrasion resistance of between 3,000-15,000 double rubs. 
     
     
         5 . The container of  claim 1 , wherein the fabric has a seam slippage of at least 40 pounds. 
     
     
         6 . The container of  claim 1 , wherein the fabric has a load recovery of at least 95%. 
     
     
         7 . The container of  claim 1 , wherein the fabric has an abrasion resistance of 6,000 double rubs. 
     
     
         8 . The container of  claim 1 , wherein the fabric has a load recovery of at least 90%. 
     
     
         9 . The container of  claim 1 , wherein the fabric has a density of about 8 oz./sq. yd. 
     
     
         10 . The container of  claim 1 , wherein the open interior space is secured in a substantially closed position by a drawstring strung within a seam, the seam running around the rim of the opening. 
     
     
         11 . The container of  claim 1 , wherein the rim extends along an upper edge of the sidewall, the rim defining the opening. 
     
     
         12 . A reusable container for preserving produce, comprising;
 a sidewall extending from a sidewall base, the sidewall defining an open interior space; and   an opening providing access to the open interior space,   wherein the container is constructed of an organic cotton fabric, the organic cotton fabric having a density of about 6-10 ounces per square yard (oz./sq. yd.).
