Dear Reader,
Beeswax wraps are a sustainable alternative to plastic wrap. They come in various sizes: small, medium and large, as well as a bread wrap that is 17” x 23”. These wraps can be used to wrap food such as cheese, sandwiches, snacks, or bread. However, they are not suitable for hot foods or meat. They can be placed on top of a bowl or jar, as you would plastic wrap. Using only the warmth of your hands, Beeswax wraps can be molded and shaped around food or the top of a bowl or container. Wash the wraps in warm or cool water, dry and reuse. Don’t use hot water as that would melt the wax. The Beeswax wraps are made with organic cotton, sustainably sourced beeswax and natural tree resin. They can be purchased locally at Bella’s in Lewisburg, located at 1017 Washington Street or online. Beeswax wraps really great new sustainable alternative to plastic!
