Let's talk about cheese...

Food Huggers

Everyone's been there: You have half a lemon (or onion, apple, tomato, cucumber...) in the fridge, and by the time you're ready to use it, it's dry and shriveled. Food waste is a big problem, needless to say. Well, these Food Huggers might be here to save the day. The round silicone caps fit onto the ends of sliced fruits and vegetables to keep them fresh. Here's the Kickstarter campaign, where $18 gets you a set of four. It's good for both the pocketbook and environment not to have to throw away as much stuff.
Thoughts? Would you use them? Any other smart ways to store cut fruits and veggies?
