What is a Beeswax Wrap?

If you're looking for an eco-friendly swap for plastic wrap and plastic baggies then this is it! Beeswax wraps are cotton fabric that is soaked in a beeswax mixture. This allows it to become tacky when warm and hold its shape when cooled. You use the wrap to cover containers, wrap produce, bread, cheese, or cover leftovers.

By using the warmth from your hands, you can soften the wrap to mold around the object and stick to it, then it will stay. Unlike plastic wrap, a beeswax wrap can stick to almost any surface of container or bowl. 

Beeswax wraps can help your produce and food items stay fresh for longer than they would in plastic because it protects them, while also being breathable and decreasing the risk of mold. 

If your beeswax wrap gets dirty, then it can be easily washed with COLD water and mild soap if needed. Leave it out to dry, then store in a dry place. The wrap will last 1 or more years, and one wrap can help replace hundreds of feet of plastic wrap. 

Looking to replace plastic baggies? Or frustrated with those hard-to-clean silicone reusable ones? Simply fold your wrap in half and crimp the edges shut to make a bag perfect for snacks, sandwiches, or other foods. Or crimp the edges of two wraps together to create a bag. If it gets dirty, it is easily separated and washed. No more trying to clean and dry those hard-to-reach corners of reusable silicone baggies.
