BAMBOO CHOPPING BOARD

Bamboo chopping boards are very popular and make a welcome addition to any culinary enthusiast’s kitchen worktop.

Technically bamboo is a grass but laminated strips of bamboo make durable and visually attractive chopping boards, which means they are every bit as appealing as the traditional wooden versions.

Bamboo is a raw material and is the fastest growing plant on earth. It grows without the need for chemical pesticides making it very eco-friendly.

Bamboo chopping boards have a lovely smooth finish and, unlike many hardwoods, it absorbs very little moisture, thereby reducing shrinking and swelling significantly.

Hundreds of small laminated bamboo strips are flattened and bonded together to create chopping boards in many shapes and sizes.

Bamboo is tougher than many hardwoods which reduces the number of knife marks and increases the life expectancy of a chopping board.

A bamboo chopping board is easy to maintain - just wash it in warm water with soap or a mild detergent, and rub occasionally with mineral oil to bring out its lovely grain.

It should not be submerged in water or used in a dishwasher.

The natural sugars in bamboo will become caramelised when a chopping board is produced, giving it a beautiful honey colour.

Bamboo is found in diverse climates - from hot tropical regions to cold mountain areas - and is prevalent in many areas of the world including Asia, northern Australia, South America and sub-Saharan Africa. Bamboo makes an ideal choice for chopping boards and cutting boards and will add a touch of style to any kitchen.
