Whether or not you love to cook, you'll love the strength, attractiveness and dependability of BAMBOO. These utensils are made of untreated bamboo, they are beautiful and functional and a terrific addition to any kitchen. Bamboo is the natural alternative for all things wood. It is the fastest growing plant on our planet and does not require any special care to grow. In fact, it is a grass that produces more oxygen than a hard wood forest of comparable size, it helps to reduce carbon dioxide gases blamed for global warming, and it helps to prevent soil erosion through its widespread root system and large canopy.
