CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATION

[0001] This application is a Continuation in Part claiming priority to U.S. patent application Ser. No. 13 / 013,327 filed on Jan. 25, 2011 entitled “Produce Refrigeration Chamber,” the contents of which are incorporated by reference herein.FIELD OF THE INVENTION

[0002] The present invention relates to the field produce storage chamber to reduce spoilage. More specifically, to a construction designed to fit on a counter top.BACKGROUND OF INVENTION

[0003] Due to various nutrient and antioxidant profiles, consumption of fresh produce is generally accepted as essential to a healthy diet. Regular consumption of fruit is associated with reduced risks of cancer, cardiovascular disease (especially coronary heart disease), stroke, Alzheimer's disease, cataracts, and some of the general functional declines associated with aging. Diets that include a sufficient amount of fruits and vegetables also help reduce the chance of developing kidney stones and may help r...
