Beka"s bamboo fiber dipper is the perfect choice when going green in the kitchen. Although people have been using bamboo for centuries, the use of bamboo fiber to make tableware is a recent invention. A mixture of 70-percent bamboo fiber, 30-percent corn and less than 1-percent of natural color pigments is moulded into shape. This ladle is an ecological and practical alternative to plastic and other types of utensils. It is 100-percent food safe, resistant against scratches, dishwasher safe and can be used safely on non stick pans. Its design complete with a black silicon dot suits the modern lifestyle.
