A Natural Plastic Wrap Alternative and a MightyFix Review

While I’ve found several great replacements for plastic food storage in our kitchen, one item that has eluded me for some time is a natural plastic wrap alternative.

We plow through tons of produce each week and cook most of our meals from scratch, which makes adequate food storage a major concern in my kitchen.

My favorite food-safe containers:

• Glass containers
• Glass jars
• Stainless steel containers
• Reusable snack bags

I don’t use plastic wrap very often, but some foods (half of a melon, homemade bread) and containers (mixing bowls, baking dishes, pitchers) are tricky to cover without the (potentially toxic) clingy stuff.

What’s a natural gal to do?

Have you heard of Bee’s Wrap?

It’s a reusable food storage cloth coated with beeswax (and a few other natural ingredients like jojoba oil).  In other words, a natural plastic wrap alternative. Hooray!

We’ve been using it in our home for a few months now, and I’m impressed.

Here’s the run down…

Pros

• Reusable
• Easy to wash
• Easy to store
• Available in a variety of sizes
• Safe, natural ingredients
• Seals well
• Cost effective over time
• Doesn’t stick to itself (like cling wrap–doesn’t that drive you crazy!?)

Cons

• Doesn’t seal as perfectly as cling wrap.
• Some claim it has a smell and taste that affects their food.  I haven’t noticed this.

A few ways we’ve used Bee’s Wrap:

It’s also great for:

• sandwiches
• cups/glasses
• any container without a lid

I’m really pleased with Bee’s Wrap as a natural plastic wrap alternative!  Mr. Native Texan helps quite a bit in the kitchen–he does dinner clean up most nights and on the weekends.  He’s probably used our Bee’s Wrap covers as much as I have, and is equally enthusiastic about them.  Let’s just say that sometimes he doesn’t love my hippie natural solutions…

Here’s the best news: you can try a set of two Bee’s Wraps (large and medium) for just $3!

Say what!?

Yep, it’s true.

Try Mighty Nest’s MightyFix subscription program and get 2 sheets of Bee’s Wrap for your first month’s Fix at the special introductory price of only $3.  After that, you’ll pay just $11 per month.
