Whether you’ve moved away from conventional grocery bags or not, bagging bread usually requires some extra thought — unless you like yours smashed.
Bamboo bags, by Bamboo-bag, are made from natural anti-microbial bamboo fabric and are an alternative to paper and plastic. Available in three designs, the bags are tailored for carrying and storing bread, keeping it fresher longer.
The turtle bag has a wide mouth and pleated sides to fit a 2-pound artisan loaf. The loaf pouch holds up to two 1-pound loaves. The baguette quiver, which closes with a drawstring, carries up to three long loaves.
All bamboo bags turn into small packets when folded, and fit in pockets or purses. Cost is $16 for each bag. Details: bamboo-bag.com.
