Pack of disposable square palm leaf plates - Ideal for birthday party, wedding, camping, BBQ, picnic, home use, corporate and catering events. Can be used instead of paper plates, plastic plates, paper bowls and disposable bowls.
Palm leaf dinnerware is made from fallen leaves of Areca palm trees. These trees are found mainly in tropical regions of the Pacific, Asia and parts of East Africa.
The Areca palm trees shed their dried fronds many times a year. The sheaths are collected by local farmers and cleaned with fresh water.
While they are still damp, the sheaths are heat pressed and moulded into various forms. The finished product is dried in sunlight to remove residual moisture.

No two leaves are the same, which means no two palm leaf dishes are the same. Each plate/bowl is different with its own unique personality. The colour variations, streaks and splotches are absolutely normal and are due to the natural variations in the leaves.
This is a common question many of our customers have. Made from dried leaves, the plates and bowls naturally absorb moisture from the surrounding environment. The plastic packaging prevents the build-up of moisture and hence stop the leaves from getting mouldy. We have tried alternate packaging in the past, but the results have been far from successful. We continue to invest time and money in researching alternatives to plastic packaging and would also love to hear any suggestions from our customers.
We don't use any chemicals to alter the natural properties of the leaves, hence the dishes may have a mild woody scent (the smell of dried palm leaves). Unlike plastic plates, this does not interfere with the smell or taste of food. Note that our palm dishes come pre-washed and treated with heat, so there is no need to wash them before first use.
We have tested leaf dishes in microwave for 2 minutes at 800W and in the oven for 30 minutes at 180-degree C. They could be used at higher temperatures but please be cautious when doing so. Leaf plates and bowls are fridge and freezer safe.
Palm leaf products are designed for one-time use, however many of our customers have said they have reused them. The fact that they are so sturdy makes it hard to throw them away after just one use. When used with non-sticky/non-greasy food, the plates and bowls can be wiped clean/washed, dried and reused. All unused products should be stored air-tight, to prevent the leaves from absorbing moisture from air.
