What Can I Use Food Huggers For?Updated 8 days ago

Food Huggers were created to keep cut fruits and veggies fresh—but that’s just the beginning.

They started as a simple way to save leftover fruits and veggies, but our community has shown us just how many ways they can make a difference in the kitchen. Each use is a small act of care—a moment of reducing food waste that adds up over time.

Here are some of the most-loved ways to use them:

• Seal cut produce like onions, lemons, and tomatoes to keep them fresh longer
  
  
• Cover open cans or jars—think beans, pet food, or sauces you’ll use again tomorrow
  
  
• Cap a half-full glass, keeping mini leftovers fresh without reaching for plastic wrap
  
  
• Protect blocks of cheese, wedges of fruit, or small snacks from drying out
  
  
• Store fridge odds and ends like half a cucumber or that last slice of lime
  
  

Each snug little seal helps slow spoilage, cut down on food waste, and reduce your dependence on single-use plastics—all while keeping your fridge colorful and organized.

Food Huggers are endlessly reusable, made from durable, food-safe silicone, and designed to last for years. It’s a smarter, kinder way to care for the food you love—and the planet we all share.

We’re constantly inspired by the creative ways people use them. Have your own favorite hack for reducing food waste at home? Share it with us! Tag us on social or email [email protected]—we often feature community ideas in our newsletter (and send a thank-you gift when we do).

Small steps, big difference.

Because keeping food fresh longer isn’t just about saving a lemon—it’s about saving resources, money, and joy in the kitchen.
