Palm Leaf Tableware
What could be more eco than tableware which falls straight from the tree? Our natural plam leaf tableware is made of Areca nut palm leaves gathered in the forest of Kerala, Southern India.
Fallen leaves are collected, soaked in spring water, heat pressed into shape then dried. There are no coatings, no additives and no chemicals - just the natural leaf. There are natural variations in the final colour and thickness, as no two leaves are the same!
Fallen leaves are a sustainable, easily-renewed material, and producing this tableware provides work for social enterprises in rural India. Most of the production units are small "micro" farms and are often family run.
Palm leaf tableware is very sturdy, and suitable for a variety of hot, wet and oily foods. Very liquid foods will be fine for up to 3 hours. Safe for freezer and microwave use.
