Why Linen? Linen bags are the perfect way to store bread because they are breathable, yet tightly closed. Not only do linen bags look lovely on your kitchen counter, they also save you (and the environment) a lot of paper and plastice. Storing your bread in a linen bag leaves you with bread that stays fresher longer. Unlike plastic, which turns bread tough and soggy, linen lets the bread breathe. This means your crust is still crisp and the inside of the loaf stays soft and fluffy. (Information from https://blog,fabrucs-store.com)
These Handmade Bread Bags are made from Oeko-Tex certified linen. What is Oeko-Tex? The International Oeko-Tex Association was established in Switzerland in 1992 in response to growing global concerns over product safety. That same year, the organization introduced its most famous certification- Standard 100. Products carrying that label are free of high levels of over 100 harmful substances known to be dangerous to humans and the environment. The criteria for Oeko-Tex Standard 100 are reviewed and updated every year.Since this is a global standard, the certification requirements are universal regardless of the country.
