Set of Five Food Huggers Fit Snugly on Food of All Sizes
Food Huggers flex to fit around a variety of sizes. From XS to XL, each of our five different sized Food Huggers overlaps with the next so that there are no gaps, and no foods left without a hugger that fits. The flexible silicone covers fold themselves when you press you food into the Food Hugger. Our patented design ensures that you always get a snug seal.
Half used. Fully saved.
Your produce doesn’t need a full-body shrink wrap. Food Huggers seal the cut edge, where spoilage usually gets hold and leave the peel uncovered. The peel is nature’s freshness system, keeping the fruit or veg protected and regulating moisture.
Less waste. More of your food eaten and enjoyed.

What’s the best way to store half an onion, lemon, or tomato?
The best way to store cut produce is to protect the exposed surface from air. Food Huggers fold in gently as you press in your leftovers, creating a snug seal that helps slow browning and drying—without covering the entire fruit or vegetable.
That means your half onion is ready for tomorrow’s dinner. Your lemon is ready for next week’s vinaigrette. And your tomato has a second act.
What are Food Huggers?
Food Huggers help keep your fruits and vegetables fresh. Our set of 5 includes all 5 sizes of Food Huggers: Mini, S, M, L, XL. They are also great for covering jars, opened cans, and other small containers. They nest compactly for space-saving storage and organization. Getting the most out of your fresh produce is health-smart, cash-smart, and good for the planet.
How do Food Huggers help reduce food waste?
Food Huggers help reduce food waste by keeping cut fruits and vegetables fresh longer. They seal the exposed edge of produce—where spoilage starts—while leaving the peel uncovered. The peel is nature’s built-in protection, designed to regulate moisture and freshness. We simply protect the vulnerable part.
That targeted seal helps slow browning and moisture loss, so fewer half-used onions, lemons, and avocados end up in the trash.
Unlike wraps that smother the whole fruit, Food Huggers work with nature, not against it. They’re a reusable alternative to plastic wrap that makes it easier to use what you buy, waste less, and run a kitchen that feels thoughtful instead of wasteful.
How can Food Huggers help me save money on groceries?
Food waste doesn’t usually look dramatic. It looks like half an onion in the crisper. A lemon you meant to use. A tomato that softened too fast.
Food Huggers help you use what you already bought. By sealing cut produce and slowing exposure to air, they help keep fruits and vegetables fresh longer—so you’re not rebuying what you just threw away.
It’s one of the simplest ways to stretch your grocery budget. Less spoilage. Fewer “oops” moments. More meals made from what’s already in your fridge.
And that feels good.
Are Food Huggers dishwasher safe?
Yes. Food Huggers are dishwasher safe and easy to clean.
They’re made from durable, food-grade silicone that won’t absorb odors or stain easily. Just pop them in the dishwasher (top rack is great), or rinse with warm soapy water. They’re built for everyday use—over and over again.
Do Food Huggers really work?
Yes! Food Huggers were tested to ensure that with proper use they are able to preserve foods longer without the waste of plastics or foil. These tiny but mighty silicone circles are your fruit and veggies best friend. They wrap around (actually, hug) your food leftovers to keep them fresh until you need them again.
