HOW TO STORE FOOD WITH NATURAL PACKAGING
Preserving food is essential for preserving its freshness and keeping it safe for later consumption. However, we often resort to packaging and storage materials that are harmful to the environment, such as plastic or aluminum. Fortunately, there are eco-friendly alternatives that allow us to preserve our food sustainably, using natural and biodegradable materials.
One of the most popular materials for food preservation is beeswax. This natural and renewable material can be used to package foods such as fruits, vegetables, and cheese, creating a flexible packaging that preserves food freshness. Beeswax has antibacterial properties and allows perspiration, allowing food to stay fresh longer.
Furthermore, glass containers are an excellent alternative to plastic and aluminum. Glass jars can be used to store sauces, preserves, jams, and much more. Glass is safe for food contact, contains no toxic substances, and can be reused multiple times. Furthermore, it preserves the flavor and freshness of food without altering it.
Finally, a traditional food preservation technique is to use hemp or linen bags to wrap bread, dried fruits, and cheese. These natural materials create a favorable storage environment, allowing good air circulation and maintaining optimal humidity.
