Why this storage earns its place
The Hygiplas green square lid in medium format (231×231 mm) is the workhorse of colour-coded storage for salad and produce in busy kitchens. It's large enough to hold a meaningful portion of prepped greens or vegetables, but compact enough to stack efficiently in even a tight cold hold. Green is the universal signal for salad and produce—your team reads it instantly, and inspectors see a working food-safety system rather than just hopes and labels.
Medium-size containers suit kitchens with moderate to high salad prep. You can hold enough for a service or two without the footprint of a large container, and they rotate quickly enough that contents stay fresh. The lid is dishwasher safe for daily cycling and freezer compatible if you're holding prepared vegetable components or pre-cut fruit. The simple square design stacks neatly and sits flush, with no awkward gaps that create humidity or temperature problems.
In real kitchens, colour-coded storage prevents the kind of mistakes that get reported to environmental health. Every time someone reaches for a container, green means salad. No thinking, no label-checking, no mixing a herb container into the dairy section by accident. Paired with small and large containers, the medium size becomes the backbone of a rational, inspectable cold-storage system.
