Waxed cotton food wraps are a reusable alternative to plastic cling film wrap

Waxed cotton food wraps are made from fabric that is infused with a mixture of beeswax, tree resin, and jojoba oil.  Using the warmth of your hand, it can be molded around food or a container, and its tackiness creates a seal comparable to plastic cling wrap.  It can be used to cover containers or to wrap foods such as sandwiches or breads directly.  Unlike cling wrap, waxed wraps are reusable: just rinse in cold water with a mild soap and air dry.  They are commercially available at stores such as Trader Joe’s, HOM in Swarthmore, and the Swarthmore Farmers market, and they come in a variety of sizes.  You can also make them yourself at home.
