Father's Day Gift: Bamboo-Bag

By JULIETTE ROSSANT Every little thing you do counts. Shop at Whole Foods, Trader Joe's or your local (better) supermarket, and chances are you'll see reusable bags for sale. Cutting down on plastic and paper bags makes sense for the environment and most of the reusable bags cost very little. All you have to do is remember to bring them with you – like any European going shopping. But sometimes you need something a bit better. Say you are buying an artisanal loaf of bread at a bakery and you want it to last. What do you use? A Bamboo-bag! Super Chef tried out the Baguette Quiver, a long sheath that fits as much as three baguettes, with a strap to carry them home. The bamboo fabric is snow white and feels like silk: …bamboo produces a natural anti-bacterial substance called bamboo kun which is retained after the fabric is made. Furthermore, an anti-fungal protein, present in the bamboo shoots, permanently binds to the fabric filaments during processing, making a cloth perfectly suited to keeping bread. Bamboo fabric breathes yet retains moisture – inside a Bamboo-bag is the ideal environment for your daily loaf. So, your loaf stays crisp and fresh longer - plus you look great carrying it home on your bike! Bamboo-bag also comes in a Turtle Bag and a Loaf Pouch, for challah, levain, or rye bread. Moms, how would you like to stay in bed while Dad goes out to the local bakery on Father's day for his favorite loaf? Easy, first give him a Bamboo-bag!
