beeswax wraps

Eco cling film alternative

Beeswax wraps are sheets of cotton fabric coated with beeswax, tree resin, and oil, used as a reusable alternative to plastic wrap for storing food.

The warmth of your hands softens the wrap so it molds around bowls, sandwiches, or produce, then stiffens as it cools to hold its shape: I covered the leftover cheese with a beeswax wrap.
