Silicone Half Gallon Bag

The benefit of buying uncured ham or meats and cheeses without a whole lot of chemicals and preservatives is better health. The downside is that these foods spoil quickly, even when sealed and put in a normal plastic bag. The seals are just too flimsy on the original packaging and on the disposable bags.

Enter the Wild Minimalist, silicone bags in hand to the rescue! Since these are designed to be permanent they have thicker walls and an outstanding sealing system. Cheese seems to last forever and the system adds at least a week to the half-life of fresh produce or uncured meats.
Initially, the cost seems high, especially if you haven't felt the thickness and durability of these bags. But if you add in the value of the unspoiled food that you retain, and calculate across the lifecycle how many disposable bags you're not contributing to landfills or the oceans, they seem very reasonable. They clean up easily and quite thoroughly with their rounded corners. And there's just the joy of holding something that's well-made and intended to last as opposed to completely discardable.

I've been using this to store frozen bananas for my morning smoothie. It is very substantial, easy to hand wash and seals tightly. Much better than the Ziploc gallon bags I was reusing

Works amazing! Keeps food fresh!

We are very pleased with Silicone bags. We wish we had ordered them a long time ago.

This bag is a nice size and holds a lot
