Why bamboo? Bamboo is actually a grass that grows to a harvestable height between 3-5 years. Some species grow up to 2 feet per day. After harvesting, bamboo does not require replanting. Bamboo has an extensive root system that continually sends up new shoots, naturally replenishing itself, making it one of the most renewable resources known. Unlike most other hardwoods, bamboo absorbs very little moisture and consequently does not shrink or swell as much, making it a superior choice of material for plates. It is 16% harder than maple which means less visible marks keeping the plates looking brand new for years to come. We recommend washing with a mild detergent in warm water and periodically wiping with mineral oil to bring out the beautiful grain of the bamboo. We don't recommend using a dishwasher.
