MoonMoon Reusable Silicone Food Bags

MoonMoon Silicone Food Bags are fabulous! They are made from silicone, a blend of platinum-grade silicone, this is food-safe, lasts for years and easily recycled at end of use. It looks and acts like plastic, but isn’t!

Also sold on Etsy.

They even are designed to stand upright, so you can keep items on the counter. These are also good for safety, as say citrus fruits are toxic to pets, you can safely wrap them in the bags, to keep them out of harm’s way. 

Expel extra air before sealing, to reduce bulk and freeze liquids flat, then stand upright once frozen. Don’t overfill for freezing or ovens.

Sold in various sizes, you can use these not just to store fruit to sandwiches, but you can also use them for many other purposes too.

You can use them for pouring out cooking ingredients into the pan, freeze fresh fruits and vegetables, store soups and sauces (there are special sauce pots too). They are leakproof!

You can even send back used items to recycle with their scheme in association with Terracycle. Wholesale orders welcome (worldwide).

You can even use them for storing wet swimwear!

How to clean silicone food bags

You can pop them on the top rack of a dishwasher (open to avoid pooled water). Or just wash by hand with warm soapy water, then rinse and dry upside down. For odours, just soak in warm water with baking soda or a little cleaning vinegar, then wash as normal.

Moonmoon silicone food lids

This brand also makes silicone food lids, which you can use to replace clingfilm, to put over food to keep it fresh. If using tinned ingredients, it’s good for safety to pour leftovers into a bowl

Before recycling cans, rinse/remove lids (pop ring-pulls over holes). Then step on cans to ‘pinch’ inner rims together, to deter inquisitive wildlife.

Why choose reusable silicone food bags?

Clingfilm is awful (and removing PVC means it doesn’t even stick well anymore) is made from single-use plastic that can’t be recycled in most cases (it causes ‘nurdles’ on factory floors when if washed to sea look like fish food, so get eaten by marine creatures).

Disposable sandwich bags are also expensive and leach plastic into your food. So why not invest in a good alternative to plastic wrap instead?
