If you've been out shopping for a kitchen remodel, or even just holiday gifts, you may have noticed a lot of bamboo. The trend has been growing for a few years now, and it seems like you can find this exotic material everywhere. Here at Kapoosh, we carry a Bamboo Dice Knife Block as a Small Bamboo Cutting Board and a Large Bamboo Cutting Board.  So it begs the question, why is this material everywhere, and it turns out it isn't just because pandas love it. These four traits seem to be why bamboo is taking over the kitchen.   

1. Eco-Friendly and Sustainable

One thing many manufacturers and consumers seem to like about Bamboo is knowing that it comes from a sustainable resource and you don't fear the deforestation required to fuel this trend. Bamboo is a fast growing crop that can be cultivated easily on farms.

2. Durable

Sometimes the kitchen can take quite a beating, making durable materials a must in this room. Bamboo is unyielding and is unlikely to warp.

3. Versatile

The potential uses of bamboo seem endless, you can see the material used in flooring, cabinets, fabrics, and of course kitchen accessories such as knife blocks and cutting boards.

4. Style

For some, the draw of bamboo comes from the stylish aesthetic of the material.

Whatever the reason, we see this material in kitchens all over, and we love it!
