Top tips on how to use beeswax food wraps

Use it.

Use your beeswax wrap to keep fruit and vegetables fresh in the fridge, cover bowls of leftovers, wrap cheeses, make pouches for sandwiches and snacks, anything you can think of!

We recommend keeping your wrap away from high heats, raw meat and pineapple (an enzyme in the pineapple can break down the wax coating – you can still cover pineapple, just avoid the fruit directly touching the wrap).

Wash it.

Simply rinse in cold water, hang to dry and re-use! if your wrap is very dirty you can use a mild soap and a soft cloth to get any food residue off.

Biodegradable and alcohol-free soaps are best, as both beeswax and damar resin are soluble in alcohol.

Avoid scrubbing your beeswax wraps vigorously or using hot water as this will wear away the beeswax coating.

Get creative.

Make some popcorn pouches and snuggle up on the couch with your favourite movie

Wrap flower stems to avoid using a plastic bag and unwanted drips.

You can roll out your pasta dough or shortcrust pastry dough on a beeswax wrap (be sure to sprinkle with a little bit of flour first)

Our wraps are suitable for covering rising bread dough and fermenting foods such as yoghurt, kombucha and buttermilk.

They make an excellent jar opener!

You can use a wrap to protect toothbrushes or wrap up bars of soap for travelling (or camping).
