Moonmoon (reusable colourful silicone food bags)

MoonMoon Silicone Food Bags (use code NATURALLY10 for 10% discount) are in an array of colours, so you can easily mix and match. Designed to replace clingfilm, you can buy sets in various shapes and sizes. You can even send back used silicone bags for recycling.

These flexible, airtight pouches come in sizes for snacks, sandwiches, batches of soup, and even whole loaves. They press flat when empty, stand tall when full, and seal tight to lock in freshness. The result is less food waste and less plastic in the bin. Over time, that also means money saved, as they get used again.

Silicone has a long service life, and when it reaches the end, specialist facilities can handle silicone recycling. Check local schemes or take-back programmes in your area. In the meantime, durable build quality reduces replacement needs, which is a win for the planet and your wallet.

Food-grade silicone is non-toxic and free from BPA and phthalates. It does not leach harmful chemicals into food, even when heated or chilled. That gives peace of mind for parents packing fruit, yoghurt, or hot leftovers.

Why Choose Clingfilm Alternatives?

Clingfilm used to be made from PVC. But now it’s been replaced by a material that doesn’t even stick that well. The ‘nurdles’ that end up in the oceans look like fish food, so get eaten by marine creatures. Choosing alternatives is not just better for the planet and your health, but cheaper too.

Some supermarket recycling bins accept clean clingfilm if you want to get rid of it (used clingfilm must be binned).

Practical Ways to Use MoonMoon Bags

Portion snacks for the week

Fill small pouches with nuts, grapes, or carrot sticks.
Label by day to remove morning stress.
Stash in the fridge door for grab-and-go ease.

Prep sandwiches and wraps

Use medium bags to keep bread soft and fillings fresh.
Add a folded napkin to absorb extra moisture for salads or tomatoes.

Freeze soups and sauces

Choose the XL, free-standing bag for easy filling.
Cool the soup, then fill, press out excess air, and seal.
Lay flat to freeze. Once solid, stack upright like books to save space.

Marinate tofu

Add marinade and tofu to a bag, then seal.
Massage gently to coat evenly and store in the fridge.
The airtight seal helps flavours infuse without spills.

Organise the pantry

Decant grains, pasta, or dried fruit into labelled bags.
Clear bags make stock levels obvious at a glance.

Travel and lunches

Pack sliced fruit, vegan yoghurt, or salad components separately to keep textures crisp.
Slip a small bag into a school lunch or work tote without leaks.

Sous-vide cooking

Many home cooks use silicone bags for low-temperature water baths.
Check your device’s recommendations and follow safe cooking guidelines.

Space-saving tips

Expel extra air before sealing to reduce bulk.
Freeze liquids flat, then stand them upright once frozen.

Easy Cleaning and Maintenance Routines

Clean on the top rack of the dishwasher or rinse with warm soapy water. Let the bags dry fully to prevent odours, then store flat. For stains from tomato sauce or turmeric, soak in warm water with baking soda or a little cleaning vinegar, then wash as normal.

If a seal feels tacky, wash the groove carefully and let it air-dry before closing. Regular, thorough drying keeps everything fresh.

Avoid sharp bones, skewers, or cutlery that can nick the silicone.
Do not overfill to the point of straining the seal.
Store bags flat or upright with the seal slightly open to help airflow after drying.
