Solid wood chopping boards have several
advantages over alternative materials (such as plastic):
1. The first and most obvious of course is aesthetics.
The beauty of natural wood complements and
enhances any kitchen. A natural wood chopping board is a feature in its own
right.
2. Wooden chopping boards have a lower impact on
knives compared to their synthetic counterparts.
Although knives are typically made from steel
(and steel seems like a robust material), high quality knives are hardened and
ground to a fine cutting edge. This combination of hardness and fineness makes
the cutting edge relatively brittle and vulnerable to damage. The natural
construction of wood supports lower risk of damage to this delicate cutting
edge.
3. Natural Anti-Bacterial properties of wood.
There have been multiple studies which
demonstrate the natural anti-bacterial properties of wood. A Google search will
yield multiple articles with the same findings.
Wood is a natural product and please be aware
that every product is unique. The wood tone and grain will naturally vary from
product to product.
