Liberate yourself from all that BPA confusion (the controversial compound used in plastics that can mess with the endocrine system, mimic hormones, cause cancer, early puberty, and a whole other slew of issues) and go Bambu! Your food is organic, so why shouldn’t the tools you use to eat it with be organic, too? The line of 100% certified organic bamboo products are as creative as they are of the earth. Bambu knows natural is best, and there is nothing more natural than bamboo. Not only is it organic, it’s a renewable resource; in fact, bamboo grows rapidly.
The cheerful, multi-color bowls are made with natural lacquer that comes from cashew nuts, so you get the bright intense colors without chemicals. These are so cute, I would use them for serving condiments and, yes, nuts at parties; they would make adorable snack bowls, too. The endearing “Bamdino” utensils serve an even more important purpose. Kids chew on utensils vigorously, so you want to make sure there’s nothing toxic on those forks and spoons, especially for new eaters. With cute dinosaur heads to entertain as they eat, this set is naturally appealing.
