Beeswax Food Wrap - Roll

Beeswax is a by-product of honey harvesting. It is a natural wax produced by individual honeybees of the genus Apis. There are two ways through which it can be extracted, either from the brood with pollen or from honey chambers. If the beeswax is extracted from the honey chambers, most often they are split into three parts out of which the central portion containing the wax is taken out, resulting in the collection of beeswax.

Beeswax has been used for centuries, instead of throwing it out and generating waste, it’s used as a base for our value-added beeswax products. It can be derived from a variety of plants and trees and is considered environmentally friendly and does not pose a threat to the environment.

Yes, it can be used to wrap vegetables.

The beeswax wrap is essentially supposed to be washed in cold water, whereas warm or hot water damages its properties, especially because wax is sensitive to heat and has the tendency of wearing off in hotter temperatures.

The beeswax wrap has no expiry date and is not usually susceptible to damage unless it is handled roughly. It can be reused 20-30 times if taken care of and used properly according to the instructions. It is suggested to squeeze and dry the wrap after every use as that helps in retaining its long-lasting effect.

The designs printed on the beeswax wraps are all natural and do not have any chemical influences over them, as they are made from food safe dye. They are curated on the Global Organic Textile Standards page (GOTS). Last forest has three staple designs which are normally used on the wraps, although the colourways can differ on each piece.
