Take a look in your pantry or kitchen drawers. You'd be surprised to find the amount of plastic in your kitchen. The point is, our lives are infiltrated with plastics. And, with plastic becoming an important aspect of our convenience, there's always some alternatives available out there. From bamboo cutting boards to spatulas, you can make the plastic-free switch using the below bamboo tools for your kitchen.
Why Use Bamboo Products In Your Kitchen?
Before we get into our list of the best bamboo tools you need for your kitchen, here's why you should be switching to bamboo products in the first place.
Bamboo is a grass, not a tree.
Did you know that bamboo is a plant and not a tree? In fact, bamboo is one of the fastest-growing plants (grass) on our planet, with some species growing 36 inches in just 24 hours. And, if we compare, an average tree takes about 30 years to grow the same. The point is bamboo is extremely abundant and a natural resource. Plus, due to its fast growth rate, it can be re-harvested quickly.
Bamboo is non-toxic and naturally antibacterial.
Scientifically, bamboo has a naturally occurring substance called Kun, which can inhibit the growth of bacteria or fungi. This makes bamboo and products made out of bamboo naturally antibacterial and antifungal. In short, products like bamboo spatulas are non-toxic and hygienic for cooking.
Bamboo is ultra-strong.
Here's another fact: bamboo was the first plant species to "re-grow" after the Hiroshima bombing in 1947. While bamboo may be a grass, it is extremely durable and strong. So, bamboo products like bamboo drawer organizers or cutting boards are also sturdy and strong.
