Food Huggers
A perfect hostess and kitchen gift that slows down how fast bananas go brown. Banana Huggers are a reusable silicone banana saver set: the Banana Hugger presses over the stem of the whole bunch, and the Banana Cap covers a cut half so the rest is ready for tomorrow's smoothie.
Bananas go from yellow to spotted so quickly because they ripen from the stem, where they release ethylene, a natural plant gas. The Banana Hugger slows down the ethylene release with a snug silicone seal. In our gas chromatography testing, a covered bunch took three times longer to reach peak ethylene. That means more days of good yellow bananas before the brown sets in, and keeping that gas at the stem is kind to the rest of the fruit bowl too.
Made from BPA-free, food-grade silicone in a soft yellow, the set is dishwasher safe and backed by the Food Huggers lifetime guarantee.
Every holiday list has a food lover and home cook on it: the friend who bakes banana bread every Sunday, the brother with the daily smoothie. Bananas are the most purchased fresh fruit in America, so that's a long list. It makes an easy hostess gift too, especially for whoever is making brunch.
