Quality TimberGrass bamboo cutting boards are an environmentally friendly choice. Bamboo is actually a grass. A truely renewable resource, bamboo's extensive root system constantly sends up new shoots, so it never needs replanting. Bamboo grows rapidly (some varieties grow over four feet a day), which means it can be harvested in 3-4 years, as opposed to 15-20 years it takes for hardwoods. This helps protect our planet's dwindling hardwood forests. TimberGrass Bamboo Kitchenware comes from a type of bamboo that is not a food source or habitat for pandas.
These bamboo cutting boards are smooth as silk, tough as steel. Harder than maple, lighter than oak, and strong as steel, bamboo cutting boards naturally resist cuts and scratches, making it the ideal choice for everyday use, special occasions, and entertaining. Bamboo is the perfect material for the kitchen and table because it absorbs little moisture, so it is less likely to shrink or swell.
Bamboo harmonizes with every home's decor. Timeless and elegant, each distinctive piece of kitchenware is handcrafted by laminating together hundreds of tiny flattened bamboo strips with special food safe glue. There are three grain types. Vertical grain shows bamboo slats on edge. Flat grain shows slats laid face up, highlighting the bamboo nodes. End grain shows a cross section of the slats. Bamboo is available in either natural or a deep caramel color that is achieved by a special stem-heating process that darkens the sugar compounds in bamboo. These are natural colors that won't fade or wash out. No stains or dyes are used.
