Abeego picks up where the peel leaves off. This beeswax wrap protects food from air and moisture and lets it breathe just like nature’s lemon peel, onion skin, and cheese rind. It’s self-adhesive, so the pressure and warmth from your hands will shape and mold Abeego over or around your food or container. Say goodbye to single-use cling wrap and keep food alive, waste-free!

Care

Abeego is NOT suitable for direct heat, high temperatures, the dishwasher or microwave oven. Allow food to cool slightly before covering and avoid placing hot food directly on your Abeego. Keep away from all sources of heat and open flame.

Hand-wash Abeego in COLD water with eco-friendly dish soap. In cold water the beeswax coating will be stiff, providing a stable surface to clean. Abeego washes like a plate, not a piece of fabric. It can handle a light scrub with a gentle dishcloth or sponge.

For a heavily soiled Abeego or if you have many to wash, run a bit of COLD water in your sink, add soap and immerse your Abeegos. Wash them like regular dishes. Do not let them soak for a prolonged period of time.

Dry your freshly washed Abeego with a towel for immediate use or place over a dish rack. Do not wring. Roll or fold Abeego and keep in with your other food packaging or in your linen drawer. Keep between cutting boards to store wraps.

Biodegradable, alcohol-free soap is the best. Tree resin and beeswax are soluble in alcohol. Check the ingredient list of your dish soap; if alcohol is in the first 5 ingredients, it is too harsh for Abeego. 

Stains and creases are normal. We consider it character. All materials used are natural, so deeply pigmented foods may contribute to the personality of your Abeego. You can minimize staining by rinsing Abeego in water shortly after it has been removed. Avoid prolonged contact with oily or greasy foods.

Cold cuts and cooked meat on your sandwiches are friends of Abeego. Place leftover meat and raw meat in a dish, cover, and store in the refrigerator. We suggest avoiding direct contact with raw meat.

Abeego is happy to help out around the freezer for short-term jobs, but leave long-term freezing to the other guys.

We recommend you avoid the temptation to cut your Abeego unless you really need to. Abeego is most functional in its full size, and you can always over-wrap an item. Your old relationship with plastic wraps makes you think you have to cut your Abeego to fit the exact item you are storing. You are going to have your Abeego for a long time, so keeping it in its full size will let you use it over and over for many sizes and shapes. If you do decide it must be cut, use a rotary blade or very sharp scissors to create a clean cut.

Abeego is fabric and the edges are not finished. The wax coating holds all the fibres of the fabric together. Over time, you may notice little frays around the edges; trim them up with a rotary blade or sharp scissors.  

Abeego is self-adhesive—you don’t have to wet it. The combination of beeswax, tree resin and jojoba oil that coats the hemp and cotton fabric is very malleable at room temperature, and it can adhere to virtually any solid food or container. Out of the package, your Abeego is ready to go. 

In the fridge, your Abeego becomes stiff and holds its new shape. Return it to room temperature to quickly soften it.

Abeego doesn't adhere to the dish like Press 'n' Seal—you likely won't be able to turn the bowl upside down and keep the contents inside. Abeego sticks to itself the item it’s wrapping, so if you want to flip your bowl over and test it out, we recommend doing so over a soft absorbent surface, like grass.
