24.01.2022 Open from 8am Saturday... Looking for last minute ideas for mum? As a bright, fun replacement for cling wrap, the Sustomi Beeswax Wraps are great way of removing a little bit of plastic from your life.... Beeswax food wraps keep a huge variety of food fresh, and are so easy to apply and wrap. They also make your kitchen, fridge and lunch box so much prettier, which is always a pleasing bonus! You can use your reusable beeswax food wraps for so many great things, from wrapping cheese and sandwiches, to fridge storage and covering a new loaf of bread! Other usages include wrapping veggies and fruit, as an alternative to reusable plastic sandwich bags and reusable ziplock bags and much more. Sustomi beeswax food wraps are made from 100% cotton material, Tasmanian bees wax, jojoba oil and natural tree resin. This combination makes a fine mix between adhesiveness, pliability and breathability (really great qualities!) making it ideal to cover your food.

Even if you don't eat a full vegetarian diet, these little gems contain many different ways to make the humble vegetable different and interesting.
