5 Healthy Ways to Store Food Without Plastic Wrap

Did you know that plastic wrap can release harmful chemicals into your food over time?

Many common plastic wraps contain BPA, phthalates, and other toxins that can leach into your food, especially when exposed to heat. Over time, this can affect your health, potentially leading to hormonal imbalances and other health risks. Not to mention, plastic wraps are non-biodegradable, meaning they contribute to environmental pollution and take hundreds of years to decompose. In this blog, we’ll explore five effective food storage methods—one of which you might not have considered before!
