Week #41 Use beeswax wrap

Beeswax wrap is a reusable and sustainable alternative to plastic wrap and single-use plastic. It has the ability to counteract environmental issues such as plastic pollution and food waste.

Beeswax wrap is a food wrap material consisting of a coated fabric, most commonly cotton. It is made by infusing cotton with food-grade beeswax, rosin, coconut oil, and jojoba oil. The wrap is mouldable, grippable, and tacky. It can be shaped around containers or food products. Single beeswax wrap can save you meters and meters of plastic wrap. 

Beeswax wrap's main use is food preservation. It is breathable and allows food to stay fresh for longer, reducing food wastage. After each use, beeswax wrap can be washed and air-dried (source).

You can use it to wrap half of the avocado, lemon, apple or any other veggies or fruits to save it for later. You can use it to cover the plates with leftovers, mason jars, bottles or carafes. You can wrap the bakery in it. 

A little tip:
Try to avoid using beeswax wraps on storing the raw meat. As you are not supposed to wash them vigorously and under the hot water, so there’s a risk they could become contaminated
