It’s heartening to witness people and establishments being conscious of climate change and other environmental issues. So a small supermarket that wraps its products in banana leaves makes headlines quickly.<\/p>\n

Banana leaf packaging is an aged practice that people have somehow overlooked.<\/h2>\n

It’s not difficult to understand why-plastic wraps are far more convenient to use. But their ability to preserve food and natural fragrance has made them necessary food wraps in the Philippines. The Hawaiians use them during luaus to protect food from hot lava as well. And the Mexicans have always been using them to wrap hot tamales. In India and Malaysia, they replace the plates we find familiar.<\/p>\n

The banana leaf packaging that this supermarket uses hails from the district of Rimping in Chiang Mai. It became a go-to food wrap when a company, Perfect Homes<\/em>, showcased it on their Facebook page. As every responsible business should, this supermarket wanted to contribute to the fight for our environment.<\/p>\n
