Because we tried them for you in May!
The BuzzFeed Life editors are always trying new products, apps, tips, and DIY projects, and we decided it was time to start sharing the best of them with you. Each month, we'll post our recommendations for what's actually worth it. For the sake of transparency, items under "Things We Bought" were purchased with our own money and/or were not the result of a PR pitch. Those under "Things We Tried" are items that were provided to us at no cost for the sake of review. Let us know in the comments what sorts of things you'd like us to review next month!

Food Huggers — $11
I've spent hours looking at kitchen accessories for work, and every time I saw these Food Huggers (meant to preserve the freshness of leftover produce), I was skeptical. Why not just use a ziplock bag? (Well, because you want to do your part in the effort to eliminate unnecessary waste from this great earth, that's why.) Also, I wasn't sure if they would actually work. So this month, I decided to give my food (specifically: a tomato and an onion) a little hug.

I put the huggers on my halved produce, left the duo chilling in the fridge for two days, and returned to find that things still looked fresh. Fresher than they would have been left in a bag or plastic container? Not necessarily. But fresh! I'll definitely use them to hug more food in the future.
One caveat: I do think you're better off using them with vegetables of a solid sort; it was easy to get the onion properly situated, but I felt like I had to squish my tomato too much to get the hugger on it snugly. —Mallory McInnis
