Why do beeswax wraps keep my veggies so fresh?

Regal Wraps are made using natural beeswax that combined together with the right material make an amazing substitute to the ordinary plastic wraps.

The question I get asked most is do they work as well as plastic wrap and will they keep my food fresh? The answer is a big YES! Yes they will. Not only will your food be as fresh, or fresher than when using plastic wrap, the wraps are better for the environment, our health and more cost effective.

How do they work?

Basically wax is water proof and air proof, like plastic. So once it is sealed around a food product it keeps the air out and allows the food to remain fresh.

Unlike plastic our Regal Wraps are hard to damage, so no chance of a tare letting air in. This makes them a reliable, eco friendly alternative to plastic.

As long as you use the warmth of your hands to make a good seal, the wrap will hold its shape when it cools, and the seal will remain. The food will keep fresh until it is ready to be used.

How Long will the food stay fresh?

Personally I have found foods to remain fresher with Regal Wraps than I did with cling wrap. Vegetables in particular thrive in the wraps. An avocado with plastic wrap would brown within a day or so, Regal Wraps allows them to stay fresh and brightly coloured for much longer than plastic wrap (I have had some stay this way for more than a week in a wax wrap).

There is no set time for how long food will keep and this is up to the purchaser to decide, but beeswax wraps keep food as fresh if not fresher than non degradable plastic.
