Food preservation items for eco-friendly kitchens in Edwards County

Webp 5edited

There’s nothing worse than trying to find a gift for someone and not knowing what to get them.

To take the guesswork out of gift buying, we’ve found practical and helpful gifts for any occasion, sorted by theme to help find everything you are looking for.

Top 5 “Food Preservation” Gifts

1) 12 Month Refill Kit with Activated Carbon
This refill kit comes with eight Bluapple Carbon packets to refill your Bluapples and keep your fridge fresher for 12 more months. Bluapple with Activated Carbon absorbs and neutralizes the ethylene gas given off by produce to keep it fresh 2-3 times longer than normal, as well as ridding your refrigerator of odors.

2) Guacamole Preservation Container
Usually guac won’t last more than a day without browning. But this guacamole container creates an airtight seal that keeps oxygen out, so it stays green and fresh for days. (It’s great for hummus, salsa, and tzatziki, too.) Push the the container’s base to remove the air, which raises the guac to the top. The push feature comes in handy as you start enjoying the dip—give a press and it lifts the contents to the top and avoids the need to scrape dip off the sides.

3) Reusable Silicone Food Storage Bags-Set of 4
These reusable silicone food storage bags do a lot more than the toss-out plastic ones can—like stand up. They’re airtight and leak-proof thanks to a sealing slider, and so a great choice for storing liquids like soup and sauces. The bags have a flat bottom for easy filling and can go in the microwave, oven, dishwasher, and freezer. You can even write on one with a dry erase marker.

4) Apothecary Jar Set
Infinity Jars: Apothecary Jar Set

5) Foldable Grocery Basket
Meori: Foldable Grocery Basket - Marine Blue
