BAMBOO – A SUSTAINABLE RAW MATERIAL
Bamboo is a type of grass that grows woody and is not a tree in the true sense of the word. Growing up to 1 meter per day, bamboo produces more oxygen than any other plant in the world. In just six months, bamboo grows to its maximum size of up to 40 meters, reaching a diameter of up to 40 cm. Harvesting occurs after approximately four years.
Bamboo grows in tropical countries, and Asia is currently the main importing country. Bamboo cultivation is largely small-scale, with small-scale farming remaining the sole domain. Bamboo grows primarily in mountainous regions, where it is primarily harvested by hand.
Because bamboo grows extremely quickly, large quantities can be felled annually without endangering the population. New bamboo constantly grows from the root system.
Hardly any fertilizers, pesticides, or artificial irrigation methods are used in bamboo cultivation because the plants are very resilient and robust.
INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE
- Do not keep in open flames, chopsticks are reusable
- Not suitable for dishwasher or microwave.
- Use only as an eating utensil
After each use, clean with lukewarm water and a little dish soap and dry thoroughly. To extend the lifespan of bamboo, it should be treated regularly with high-quality vegetable oil.
Application:
Place one chopstick in the corner between your thumb and index finger and press it against the lower third of your ring finger. The chopstick should sit firmly. Hold the second chopstick between the tip of your thumb, index finger, and middle finger. Only move the upper chopstick using the three fingers involved.
VERSATILE USE
Of course, chopsticks are not only great for eating Asian dishes like rice and sushi, but also for updos like the Chinese bun.
