We take it that, if you are considering buying a bamboo product, you care enough not only about your money, but also about the planet.

Bamboo is a grass that grows really fast and it takes only around 3 years until you can use a new plant (it would take decades to use a maple tree, for example).

So, bamboo is an Earth friendly choice, is renewable and needs no chemicals to thrive or to be harvested.

Why buy a bamboo cutting board?

Because it looks good. Because it’s dense enough to retain water, resists knife cuts and it simply doesn’t warp or crack in time.

Yeah, you could easily buy a wood cutting board. After all, neither of them can be washed in the dishwasher, but the bamboo one would not need the same constant care as the wooden one. So no, no regular mineral oil treatment for the bamboo cutting board is required, unless of course you want to do it.

How do you clean a bamboo cutting board, then? You can use just hot water and soap or simply use a dilution of bleach water. Rinse it well afterwards, of course. Easy peasy.

The downsides?

Well, get ready for this: there aren’t any! Or at least, if you read carefully, there shouldn’t be any. Just pay attention to your purchase; some manufacturers use formaldehyde glues, so be sure to buy the cutting board made with non-toxic or organic treatment methods. With this, you should be covered.

Our top 5

Of course the market is full of options: we’re all in the same boat on this. But, how to avoid buying a lemon? It’s not like you just have to cross your fingers and hope for the best.

Well, this is where our part kicks in. We read, tried, asked around, argued and decided that these would be the best options for you, the top 5 when it comes to bamboo cutting boards. The ball is in your court now.
