The benefits of a lunch box

The lunch box , also called lunch box in its English terminology and bento in its Japanese name, is a food container allowing you to transport a snack or a complete meal to be enjoyed outside your home. Washable and reusable, these containers are opposed to disposable packaging and ready-to-use industrial dishes. The lunch box makes it possible to favor homemade products for any occasion and in any season. It is a nomadic accessory that promotes a healthy lifestyle and zero waste on a daily basis.

At a time when ecological concerns are becoming more and more important in our daily lives, the impact of our lifestyles on the environment is obvious. Adopting a lunch box is a more eco-responsible habit that contributes to the reduction of pollution linked to single-use packaging.

In addition to its zero waste contribution, the lunch box also helps reduce food waste. Preparing your meal has never been easier by accommodating leftovers. Savings in perspective and saving time to take full advantage of the lunch break. Instead of browsing the queues at the company restaurant or the local bakery, you can go out for lunch in the park on a nice sunny day.

In addition, the bento favors a healthy diet adapted to your desires, but also to a possible special diet due to intolerances or food allergies. It is the ideal solution when it is necessary to provide a packed lunch for your child at school in order to avoid certain foods. Your lunch box filled with fresh, local and seasonal products could well be the envy of the break room.

How do I choose my lunch box?

The materials

For your lunch box, you have the choice between different materials.

Glass containers are completely healthy and environmentally friendly. They go without problem in the refrigerator, the microwave and the dishwasher. But their sensitivity to shocks and their weight make them impractical on a daily basis for nomadic use.

Plastic lunch boxes are also easy to use and maintain while being lighter. They present less risk of breakage than glass, but they are less safe in terms of health. Indeed, poor quality plastic degrades quickly and harmful substances can then migrate into food.

Stainless steel lunch boxes are strong and durable. Stainless steel is a high food-grade material that poses no risk of nanoparticle transfer and is infinitely recyclable. Suitable for indoor and outdoor use, the double-walled stainless steel lunch boxes are also insulated for an autonomy of 5 hours hot or 7 hours cold.

The different types of lunch boxes

Vegetable soups or gazpachos, mixed salads or poke bowls, risottos or vegetable gratins… with a composition, texture and taste that vary, not all dishes are transported in the same containers. This is why, depending on the model, the lunch boxes offer various functionalities:

Traditional bentos made of natural materials (wood, bamboo fiber, etc.) are simply used to take food from one place to another, without microwaves and without maintaining temperature.
Insulated lunch boxes keep your meals hot for a long time or keep them cool for long hours depending on your needs.
The soup boxes are perfectly waterproof and particularly suitable for liquid meals.
Catering boxes replace plastic tupperware to take your dishes and reheat them in the microwave in a healthy and durable container.

The shape and the capacity

In terms of design and format, the choices are endless. There are rectangular or square lunch boxes, and other cylindrical ones. Some are tall and some are rather wide.

A lunch box is generally used to carry an individual meal. The capacity to adopt will depend on age, appetite and activities. On average, the 350 ml formats are more dedicated to snacks or dishes for children. The 600 to 900 ml meal boxes are more suitable for a complete adult menu.

The clip, flap or screw-on closure system is just as important as the accessories (carrying handle, removable compartment, non-slip base, etc.).
