    FAQ

    Why bamboo? 

  • Our spoons are made from bamboo as it is sustainable, safe to use and lightweight. Bamboo is one of the most sustainable growing plants in the world. In the right conditions, it can grow up to 1 meter in just one day! It also releases up to 35% more oxygen than trees, helping fight climate change. 

    • Where is your bamboo sourced from?

  • The bamboo used to make our spoons are harvested in Northern Vietnam. After harvest, the bamboo is then transferred to nearby local communities where the production of the spoons takes place.

    • Is bamboo cutlery safe?

  • Of course! Our reusable bamboo spoons are perfectly safe to use. We do not use any harmful chemicals, whatsoever. Bamboo utensils and bamboo flatware are a great alternative to plastic and steel utensils and flatware. 

    • Is the bamboo spoon sealed?

  • Yes, bamboo spoons have been lightly sealed with food-grade organic coconut oil. We highly recommend that you reapply either coconut oil or olive oil every 2-3 uses.

  • Please avoid washing our reusable bamboo spoon in your dishwasher. We suggest handwashing them.
