The average American family of four will toss out $1,600 a year in food that they weren’t able to eat, usually because it’s gone bad. Beyond that, there’s the additional money wasted on plastic film, foil, and disposable baggies. With Food Huggers, you can cut out these costs, all while reducing your food and plastic waste!
Since their Kickstarter launch in 2013, Food Huggers has grown to be a favorite in kitchens nationwide. Throughout this success, founders Michelle Ivankovic and Adrienne McNicholas have stayed true to their commitment to high quality ingredients, like their FDA food grade silicone. Each Food Hugger helps retain 23% more moisture than the typical plastic containers or other food storage products which means your food is staying fresh for as long as possible. Plus, all of their packaging is 100% recycled and recyclable, so you’re fighting waste every step of the way!

The huggers work like a nice snug fit without air gaps – to keep left over fruit and veggies fresh.

My little one likes 1/2 a banana just before bed. This product keeps it from turning black and mushy overnight. Worth it for this alone!

I’m so glad I invested in these, for 3 reasons. Takes a lot less space than plastic containers, I don’t feel compelled to use up a whole veggie to save the bother of storing a partial veggie, and it becomes easier to see at a glance what partial veggie I have in the fridge waiting to be used when it’s not buried in a plastic container, where it’s more likely to get overlooked and go past its prime, ultimately saving me money. I got the fresh greens one and like how the colors help me to tell the sizes apart so that it’s quick for me to pick out the right size for what I need. A win all around!

Great way to save space in the fridge. We used to put our half produce in container, which were bulky and took up a lot of space. These cut down on space produce takes up, which is great. Did spot in the dishwasher, so we will be hand washing.

These fruit/veggie huggers are awesome! I’ve always used in the past plastic zip lock bags to keep the item fresh and getting to replace the plastic not only feels good, it’s the right thing to do. I’m recommending these to all my friends.

I love this product. Out of all the products I’ve gotten to try and reduce single use plastic, this is by far the easiest to use and clean up. I’ve had it on a tomato and onion in the fridge and they both lasted just as long as in a container

I love the food huggers. They work great and we are definitely using less plastic because of them. They are easy to clean and don’t take up too much space for storage.

We love these! Our household committed to eliminating single use plastics in our house and these have been great. Perfect to save half a tomato or onion, or as a quick lid for canned goods. Love.

These are great! They don’t work better than putting cut fruit or veg in a container, but they certainly save space.

I only used one on an onion so far and I love it. I can’t wait to try a banana. I never eat a whole banana.

I truly LOVE this product. I use it to save citrus, bananas, onions (no residual smell!).
So I went to order some larger ones, and it REALLY would have been helpful if you provided the measurements for all of the sizes on your web site. I ended up with more large ones than I need. I’ll give them away, of course, but that small piece of info would sure be useful.

Love the suction that it creates when saving half of something. Keeps it fresh until ready to use again.

I bought this set so we could finally have a lid for dog food and I’m so happy! It’s so easy to take on and off, it’s a joy to use. I’m not sure about the other sizes but so far I used a smaller one for a lemon. Easy to clean, easy to use.

I was recommended to buy these as covers for opened dog food cans so I don’t have to use aluminum foil anymore. I definitely don’t need all of the sizes (honestly I don’t partially cut up food, I just cut the whole thing haha), but the two largest sizes are nice for cans. I wish I could’ve just bought the one or two I needed, not five when I probably won’t use all of them, but oh well. They do the trick.

I’ve not needed to use these many times but had some difficulty when I tried. Partly because of the way I cut the item or the size of it etc. It is harder for things like peppers which may not be perfect circles. You sort of need to squeeze the food item a little bit. Overall the products are okay, a good idea. I received the wrong color from what I ordered but that was taken care of by customer service. I disliked th packaging the items came in. I know it is pretty to see what is inside but it exposes th silicone to dust particles before the customer received it. Overall still like but probably won’t use much. Apparently I usually just cut up the whole food item at once.

I find these useful since I live alone and typically don’t use a whole lemon or onion, for example, at a time. This keeps them fresh for use another time. I even purchased some to give as a gift.

Prior to realizing the plastic pollution problem. We had a few plastic vegetable keepers. One looked like an onion and another looked like a lemon. The produce I bought sometimes fit into them.
When I saw these stretchy veggie keeper pack. I had to get them. They work great.

Hi! We’d recommend just using a sponge, soap, and hot water and using the sponge to clean within the sides! The silicone is resistant to food sticking to it, so they’re really easy to clean!
