Quick Bamboo Facts:

Bamboo is renewable.  The bamboo plant grows quickly and needs no pesticides or herbicides.  It produces more oxygen than cotton and doesn’t need to be replanted or fertilized.

Bamboo is a natural grass that can grow over 100 feet.  Once cut, bamboo grows back completely in just three years.  Thus, bamboo has economical and ecological values to the world.

The natural substance in bamboo makes it inherently resistant to pests and pathogens.

Bamboo’s antibacterial properties keep it from absorbing and retaining odors.

Olive & Myrtle carries a large selection of bamboo kitchen products including bamboo bowls, bamboo cutting boards and bamboo trays. Don’t forget about bamboo toys for kids!
