A bamboo chopping board is in no way inferior to a hardwood chopping board. Indeed, from an environmental point of view, bamboo is a much better natural material to use. This post will look at the benefits of using a bamboo chopping board.

Every one and a half acres of rainforest are lost every second. Obviously not all hardwood chopping boards once were trees in a rainforest but this fact is indicative of how endangered trees have become. We need to protect all trees and use them for our needs sparingly. It seems ludicrous to chop down trees to make kitchenware such as chopping boards.

It also seems bad husbandry to use depleting supplies of oil to make plastic chopping boards. A great alternative is bamboo because it is a renewable resource. Bamboo takes only 5 to 7 years to reach full height. It can be grown without pesticides or fertilizers. Moreover, bamboo doesn’t drain the soil: far from it, bamboo helps to stop top soil erosion.

One of the companies that make bamboo chopping board is Totally Bamboo. It is a company that only uses bamboo that is grown in an environmentally friendly way. It doesn’t use bamboo that is the food or habitat of the Giant panda. Totally Bamboo uses bamboo grown under the auspices of Fair Trade agreements.

To make bamboo chopping boards bamboo culms are flattened and glued together end grain style. Totally Bamboo chopping boards don’t use formaldehyde, stains or dyes. Patterns are created by using carbonized bamboo. This means the patterns are throughout the entire board and so the boards can be sanded without affecting the design.

Totally Bamboo chopping boards are completely safe for food preparation. They are as hard as ash chopping boards and don’t blunt knives. Their bamboo chopping boards if correctly maintained can last a life time. And finally, their chopping boards are competitively priced.
