This is a beeswax wrap we found in Stockholm for food storage. The manufacturer uses left over materials from local producers and with the beeswax creates these natural alternatives.
Plastic wraps are used more commonly; even in Japan, including our household. However, a little research will show that reusable wraps have been traditionally used in many parts of the world and are easy to use! When the beeswax wrap get dirty, just clean with water, dry it and voila! Use it over and over again. It's useful for storage of vegetables, fruits, bread, cheese, leftovers as well as wrapping sandwiches and dough (bread dough for example). It keeps food fresher longer, it's reusable and compostable. Why not try them out?
