Benefits of Eating From a Wooden Bowl

We’ve gone on and on about how great our wooden bowls are for serving and for home decor. Not only that, but Holland Bowl Mill has also stressed how our wooden bowls are food safe. To go even further with more reasons to get a wooden bowl set of your own, know some benefits of wooden dishes.

One of the biggest reasons to choose wooden bowls is the material itself: wood. Wood is a natural material, meaning it is biodegradable. The advantage here is that wood can be easily broken down and recycled by nature. Not only that, but wood is also renewable. Often when a tree is used for our wooden bowls, another is planted to take its place.

With wood being such an eco friendly material, it has many advantages over plastic or melamine dishes. All forms of plastic are created through industrial chemical processes, using non-renewable resources. Plastic will also take hundreds of years to break down, which causes problems for the planet and wildlife.

Wood as a material is also quite durable. When you take good care of your wooden dishes, they can last for generations. Part of that is the reasoning behind our lifetime guarantee, meaning that if your bowl ever cracks or warps from regular use, Holland Bowl Mill will replace it with a new one of similar size and finish.

That durability gives wooden bowls the advantage over china or pottery. Dropping a piece of china dishware will cause it shattering nearly every time. But with wood, dropping a bowl will likely result in a bounce, leaving it intact and still ready to use. 

A couple health benefits also come with using wooden dishware instead of plastic. Ingesting plastic products or plastic particles means ingesting potential toxic substances. This might lead to inflammation or other negative health outcomes. Wood also keeps fewer bacteria than plastic, making it a suitable alternative to use in cutting boards.

Wooden bowls and other wooden dishware comes with its limits. For instance, you cannot put a wooden bowl in the microwave, nor should you run your wooden bowl in the dishwasher. Wood might also stain if not properly cared for, and that proper care involves using food safe oil, such as our Bee’s Oil Wood Preserver
