These waxy sheets of cotton make plastic wrap a thing of the past. Vermont-based Bee’s Wrap makes its product with beeswax, organic jojoba oil, and tree resin for a washable and reusable alternative to plastic wrap—they’re completely compostable too. We like that these seal remarkably tightly over containers of all sizes (better than plastic wrap) and even portions of fruits and vegetables or cookies and pastries. To clean, use a mild detergent and room temperature water (hot water will melt the wax and affect long-term durability). If the wraps get too cold and won’t seal properly, simply crumble up, using the warmth of your hands to soften.
It’s also more fun. I have tried innumerable tricks to keep produce fresh, from just throwing the vegetables in the crisper drawer, to wrapping wet paper towels around the roots of herbs and tucking damp towels inside plastic bags along with the produce. Throw out your plastic wrap and use these reusable beeswax-coated container sealers.
