JP2000053171A - Food package for eggs, strawberries, or the like whose bottom portion and peripheral portion are subjected to tiny-hole-punching process - Google Patents

Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To enable the grow of bean spouts or the like and reuse as a disposable drainer even if a food package after the finish of its purpose as a food container is used, by punching tiny holes into the bottom portion and peripheral portion of the food package for eggs, strawberries, or the like, which is made of a synthetic resin. SOLUTION: In the food package (container) for eggs, strawberries, or the like, which is made of a synthetic resin, the bottom portion and peripheral portion of the container is subjected to a tiny-perforating process 1 in advance so that the container is reused as a container for growing bean spouts or a disposable drainer after finishing its original purpose as a food container. Also, bulges 2 jutting out in the form of narrow lines or dots are formed on the bottom portion of the container so that a distance is kept between a setting surface and the bottom of the container in order to prevent the bean spouts from becoming rotten as a result of the direct close contact of the bottom of the container with the setting surface and hence the obstruction of the flows of water and air. Thus, an empty space is kept between the bottom portion of the container and the setting surface, excessive water can be drained and air can be led, and the bean spouts are satisfactorily grown.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

[0001] The present invention relates to a food packaging container.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, food packaging containers are made for a short period of time from packing and shipping of a producer to a refrigerator of a consumer. After use, they are simply discarded as garbage, and are expected to be reused in advance. It was not designed.

[0003] In addition, even sprouts, which are conventionally considered to be the safest among vegetables, are often commercially used with additives intended to maintain freshness and increase the capacity. It is difficult for urban dwellers to obtain completely pesticide-free vegetables because they use foods, pesticides, various hormones, maturation inhibitors, antiseptic and antifungal agents.

[0004] On the other hand, in the home sprouts method, seeds soaked in water for several hours are transferred to a special container, dish, unglazed flowerpot, etc.
It was harvested in a few days, just by applying fresh water several times a day so that it would not dry and rot.

[0005]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION If a food packaging container can be reused for another purpose after its original purpose of use, it is a social issue that requires effective use of resources and reduction of waste. If it comes true, then fresh vegetables can be easily and safely made at home, and if it is finally used as a disposable drainer, it will be two birds or three birds with one stone.

On the other hand, most vegetables lined up in stores use chemical fertilizers and pesticides, as well as various hormones, maturation inhibitors, antiseptic and antifungal agents, etc., for keeping freshness. It was a problem that could not be neglected for those who are interested in health, such as the effects of

Conventionally, colander has been mainly used as a drainer. However, soft ones such as tofu cannot be handled, and finely shredded ones such as seaweed are easily clogged. Had been.

[0008]

Means for Solving the Problems Fine holes are made in advance at the bottom and peripheral portions of a synthetic resin food package such as eggs and strawberries for putting food that does not need to worry about liquid leakage, and used as a food container. After the purpose of the above, the sprouts can be easily and safely cultivated in each home by using the sprouts, and if used as a disposable drainer, this is one solution to the above problem.

[0009]

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Sprouts can be grown only in water, can be made in any home in a short time, are safe and inexpensive, and are rich in vitamins, proteins and fibers. That's perfect.

For the cultivation of sprouts, alfalfa, mung bean,
Various seeds such as peas, radish, buckwheat, soybeans, red beans, corn, wheat, sesame are available.

When cultivation is carried out using this container, strawberries, soybeans, mung beans and the like, which are relatively large, are suitably strawberry packs.

As shown in FIG. 2, the bottom of the container is kept close to the installation surface so that the bottom of the container does not directly adhere to the installation surface and obstructs the flow of moisture or air and does not spoil the sprouts. Inflate outwards with a thin line or point and drill holes at both the tip and the normal bottom to discharge excess water and allow air to flow.

These holes for venting and draining are useful not only for sprouts cultivation but also for preventing the stuffiness of vegetables and fruits such as strawberries, which were originally intended for the container.

[0014]

[Example] Sprinkle sprouts seeds soaked in water for a certain period of time, cover the container with an even thickness, cover the container, open it twice in the morning and evening, shower with fresh tap water, and place it in the corner of the sink. It grows to a size that can be harvested in a few days when managed.

In the case of a container without a lid such as a strawberry pack, cover with a wet cloth, place two pieces face-to-face and fasten them with a rubber band, or wrap a wrap and make a hole in it to replace the lid. I do.

[0016]

According to the present invention, a food container that has been discarded after use can be effectively utilized by taking advantage of its hygiene features.

Since bean sprouts are grown only on water and are more nutritious than the original seeds, fresh vegetables can always be obtained safely and inexpensively for urban dwellers without land.

In particular, in the case of an egg package, sprouts having different growth stages can be cultivated for each cell, so that fresh raw sprouts can be harvested daily for each serving.

When the sprouts have grown to an appropriate size, they can be stored as they are by placing the sprouts in a refrigerator.

Further, the use efficiency can be further enhanced by draining various foods such as tofu, vegetables, seaweed and the like, and further by using the residue as a disposable drainer.

In the event that the production and sellers are stagnant in the product price, the added value will increase if this container is set with sprouts seeds or sold with a sticker that gives sprouts seeds when several are collected. It is easy for consumers to understand.
