beeswax wrap

Eco-friendly cling alternative

Beeswax wrap is a reusable food covering made from cotton fabric coated with beeswax, tree resin, and oil.

The warmth of your hands softens the wrap so it molds around bowls, bread, cheese, or cut fruit, creating a seal.

It replaces plastic wrap for most purposes except raw meat: I covered the leftover avocado with beeswax wrap.
