Vegan-friendly wraps can keep your food fresh

The cloths are coated with candelilla, a shrub native to the Southwest and northern Mexico that has properties similar to beeswax, including water-resistance and durability

Years ago, Sarah Kaeck from Vermont created Bee’s Wrap, reusable organic cloths coated with beeswax as an alternative to plastic. The pliable wraps, in squares and rectangles with pleasing designs, seal around a sandwich or other foods with the warmth of your hands. Now, the company has added new wraps to accommodate plant-based and vegan customers, replacing beeswax with candelilla wax. Candelilla is a shrub native to the Southwest and northern Mexico and has properties similar to beeswax, including water-resistance and durability.
