My new Core Bamboo Flower salad bowl is used everyday in my house to serve salad along with every meal we eat. The design of the bowl and the pretty lime green color go great with my dishes and looks so pretty sitting on my counter. When it's not in use (during the day) it sits out just as a accent piece on my kitchen counter. I can't wait to use my Flower Bamboo Salad Bowl in my new home.

From proper housing and medical care, to additional parks and recreation, it gives us a great sense of purpose and accomplishment that we are able to play a meaningful part in the lives of such wonderful people.
The Basics
All of the bamboo we use is 100% organically grown. We use food safe water based adhesives and we finish our products with top grade natural oils. Even our lacquer comes from natural cashew trees. Every product adheres to the standards of the FDA and European equivalent. Wherever possible we use recycled and eco friendly packaging.
Some people talk about being organic, We live by it!
Why Bamboo? You ask....
Bamboo is one of the most remarkable resources on Earth. As a member of the grass family, not a tree, it grows at a much quicker rate than any other wood. From start to harvest (60-70 feet tall) it can take just four years. Bamboo is naturally anti-microbial, therefore stopping bacteria from growing. It is also one of the strongest yet lightest materials around. Bamboo is 16% stronger than Maple and is 33% lighter in weight than Oak. What is probably most remarkable is its unique extensive root system. When bamboo is harvested its natural root system spreads and automatically regenerates itself.
Virtually all of the bamboo we harvest is used in the process. When we harvest the bamboo stalks at 70 feet it is cut up and divided into different production materials. The bottom section is primarily used for flooring and building materials. This is usually the toughest and hardest pieces to bend. The middle section is used by our factories to make these lovely handcrafted products ranging from our assorted boards to versatile bowls and everything in between. The top section is used for smaller thinner items such as chop sticks, and accessory items.
Even the saw dust created during the cutting is collected and mixed in with other materials to create a concrete like substance used for building and fixing a variety of items.
