Storage of Bulk Items

Although it is wonderful to purchase bulk foods using the reusable mothering Mother Sealed Bulk Bags, it is not ideal to store food in the bags for several reasons. The bags are porous, making your food open to the air of your home. To keep the food fresh and free of uninvited guests (bugs, rodents), store everything in glass jars. So, when you arrive home with your food, start to carefully pour your items into jars. Only open part of the top of the Sealed Bulk Bag to keep the items from spilling out (see photo here). Also, storing your bulk food in jars frees up your bulk bags for future grocery outings.

Store semi perishable food in the refrigerator if you might not eat it quickly. In particular this would pertains to nuts and seeds, which can become rancid as the oils destabilize over time. Implement portion control when you are shopping. The Mini Bulk Bags, when filled, will fill a 2 cup jar. More frequent purchasing is better ideal than buying large quantities to last for months.

The bags are to be washed after each use. To do this turn the bag completely inside out, and readhere the opening to itself so that it does not attach to your clothing in the washing machine. Wash in cold water, and always hang to dry. The heat of the dryer damages the seal on the bag and will greatly reduce the life expectancy of the bag.

Have lots of fun experimenting with the many ways in which you can use the bags to replace a disposable. Delight and take joy in the pleasure of knowing that you can walk on this Earth with a lighter step!
