Made of bamboo, which is an easy-care, hardwearing natural material that is also gentle on your knives.
You can also use the chopping board as a serving tray for food such as cheese or cold cuts.
Long Term Benefits
There are many different kinds of chopping boards, and they're all good for different things. Kitchen work is also more hygienic when you use different chopping boards for different raw materials. Remember that the chopping board should be soft, so as not to damage the edge of the knife - materials like wood or plastic are preferable. Wooden chopping boards are more stable than plastic, while plastic is easier to lift and clean. You probably could use both kinds.
Strong, flexible and one of the world's fastest growing plants – bamboo has many uses that make it an excellent renewable material. It’s a type of grass and usually grows without the need for fertilizers or irrigation. After being harvested, it grows new shoots that are ready for harvesting after 4-6 years. At IKEA we use bamboo for items like furniture, bathroom decor, baskets and lamps – and we are constantly exploring more areas of use for this versatile material.
