Embrace the Season: Keeping Fall Produce Fresh & Prepping for Thanksgiving with BeeBAGZ®

Reusable beeswax wraps for food storage of apples, cantaloupes and other fruits

As the air turns crisp and the leaves shift to vibrant shades of orange and red, fall beckons us to slow down and embrace the beauty of the harvest season. For many, it’s a time of cozy sweaters, pumpkin-spiced treats, and preparing for one of the most beloved holidays of the year—Thanksgiving. But as we gather around tables laden with hearty meals, it’s essential to think about sustainability and how we can reduce waste while making the most of fall’s bounty.

This year, let BeeBAGZ® be your go-to companion for keeping your produce fresh, reducing plastic waste, and prepping for those unforgettable Thanksgiving feasts.

The Abundance of Fall Produce
Fall offers a rich variety of fruits and vegetables—apples, pears, pumpkins, squash, sweet potatoes, carrots, and Brussels sprouts. These seasonal gems are packed with nutrients and flavours that define the season, and they deserve to be preserved and enjoyed at their freshest.

However, one challenge of fall’s abundant produce is storage. How can we keep apples crisp, carrots crunchy, and squash firm without relying on single-use plastics or wasteful packaging? That’s where BeeBAGZ® comes in.

Keeping Your Produce Fresh with BeeBAGZ®


BeeBAGZ®, made from natural beeswax and cotton, are reusable, breathable, and perfect for storing your produce. Here are some tips for using them to keep your fall fruits and veggies fresh longer:

1. Apples & Pears: Fall is synonymous with apple picking. To keep your apples fresh and crisp, store them in a BeeBAGZ® in your crisper drawer. The beeswax coating creates a natural barrier against moisture loss, so your apples stay crunchy, not mushy. The same goes for pears, which tend to ripen quickly—BeeBAGZ® help slow down the process.

2. Root Vegetables: Carrots, potatoes, and sweet potatoes are fall staples that often need to be kept in a cool, dry place. BeeBAGZ® help regulate moisture and airflow, keeping root vegetables from getting soft or sprouting prematurely.

3. Leafy Greens: If you're making a fresh fall salad, BeeBAGZ® can help your greens stay crisp. Simply rinse your greens, let them air dry, and store them in a BeeBAGZ® in the fridge. The breathable fabric keeps them from wilting or becoming soggy.

4. Pumpkin & Squash: After carving pumpkins or cutting squash for roasting, store leftover pieces in BeeBAGZ® to maintain their texture and freshness.

 

Prepping for a Sustainable Thanksgiving


Thanksgiving is a holiday centred on food, family, and gratitude. It's also a time when we can be more mindful of the impact our meal preparations have on the environment. With BeeBAGZ®, you can reduce your reliance on plastic wrap and ziplock bags while still keeping your ingredients fresh for that big meal.

1. Prepping in Advance: Thanksgiving dinners often require prepping days in advance. Whether you’re chopping veggies, marinating meat, or storing dough for pies, BeeBAGZ® are perfect for storing food in the fridge or freezer. They lock in freshness without the need for single-use plastic, and their natural materials are food-safe.

2. Reducing Waste: Sustainability is at the heart of Thanksgiving with BeeBAGZ®. You’re not only cutting down on plastic waste but also reducing food waste by keeping your ingredients fresher for longer. Plus, the beeswax-infused fabric is biodegradable, so when your BeeBAGZ® have reached the end of their lifespan, they won’t harm the planet.

3. Leftover Love: After the big meal, BeeBAGZ® are perfect for storing those delicious Thanksgiving leftovers. Pack up extra turkey, stuffing, and roasted veggies without the need for plastic containers or bags. The natural beeswax coating will keep your food fresh and flavourful for the next day's feast.
