Food Huggers
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!

Osiris from EarthHero here! I love my avocado food huggers SO much! As someone who eats avocados very often (a staple of Mexican households), I definitely benefit from extending their lives as much as I can. They are super easy to put on (of course, they don’t fit with all avocados, but definitely on those you find in the States) and very easy to clean, which I love. I also love that they’re ethically manufactured in China, truly breaking the stigma of non-U.S. made products!

Hi DeeAnn! In order to keep costs affordable, Food Huggers has chosen to manufacture at a company they trust in China that has been recognized by third parties for safe and ethical manufacturing.

We use these daily in our house. I agree with other users that the small one is definitely more conveniently sized. We don’t typically buy the larger avocado varieties but I have been able to use the larger sized hugger with avocados that are a little larger than average. It may not ‘hug’ it completely but still works adequately. It would be nice to be able to buy just one size for your particular use instead of the pair.

I was really excited about these because I’ve been using a hard plastic avocado saver that doesn’t work with the pit still in place. So I was slightly disappointed to find that these huggers only work for some avocados. There’s no stretch like this brand’s other food huggers. I guess I’ll just have to find the right size avocados at the store…

Works great, but I really only use the smaller size, so it would be great if the sizes could be purchased separately.

I like the different size options though the small is the one that I typically use, works better than beeswax wrap to keep them fresh.

I use these daily! Normally I only use the small one but have had a few avocados big enough for the large one. I’d love an in between size! I have two toddlers that eat avocado almost daily and I split half of one between them so I always have half to save. I was using plastic wrap. This saves the waste and also keeps the avocado fresher!

The large size is completely useless for the avocados I get, so I wish the sizes could be purchased separately. Also wish they had a smaller size as well since the “small” in this 2-pack is slightly too large and therefore unusable for the tiny organic variety that is common in Southern California.
When they do fit they work really well so I am still glad I purchased.

Hi Anna! We love these food huggers as a great, durable option for keeping Avos fresher for longer. Because they are made of sturdy silicone, they will last for years and years! A few of us have had ours for 5+ years and they’re still looking good as new 🙂

The smaller size works really well, haven’t found an avocado large enough to use the bigger size though. Could have used two smaller ones or an option to buy the sizes separately. Also, when we put them through the dishwasher they came out really spotted and with a chalky coating. It did come off with a hand wash. Don’t think we will be putting them in the dishwasher going forward. Not sure if it’s our soap, or something else, but just something to keep in mind.

I bought these for my mom and she absolutely loves them! She never eats an entire avocado so I’m glad that this came in two different sizes so that they’ll surely fit her different sized avocados. Hopefully it’ll help her save them and save money on buying them. lol She’s been wasting Ziploc bags but also, she’s wasting avocados too. I’m hoping that since these are brighter colors, that she’ll remember to use the older avocados first and not cut into new ones. Thanks so much!

We eat tonsss of avocados in our home and don’t always eat both halves so this is the perfect solution. We use all of the other huggers but were excited to see this one come up as the unique shape is necessary!

The covers don’t always fit the avocado but mostly it works pretty good.

Packaging would be nicer if it covered full product instead of having product stick out (bowl part) and collect dust before customer receives. Two sizes. I haven’t used them much but they seem good.

Love how convenient and easy these are to use, and clean. I am only giving 4 stars versus 5 stars for the fact that there really should be 3 sizes versus 2. These work well just every now and then I’ll get an avocado that would be best with a size in between these 2. Still so happy with these though!
