Know before you buy
Acacia wood is naturally dense and durable, but it is porous. While it is fine for serving salads, you should avoid leaving acidic dressings in the bowl for extended periods to prevent staining or potential damage to the wood finish.
Hand wash the bowl with mild soap and warm water, then dry it immediately with a soft cloth. To keep the wood from drying out or cracking, periodically apply a food-safe mineral oil to maintain its luster and moisture barrier.
It is best suited for room-temperature or cold items like salads, fruits, and breads. Prolonged exposure to high heat or moisture from hot, steaming food can cause the wood to warp or crack over time.
Because it is crafted from natural acacia wood, you will notice a distinct, beautiful grain pattern that gives the bowl a tactile, organic feel. While the finish is smooth to the touch, the unique wood characteristics remain visible.
No, this bowl is not dishwasher or microwave safe. The intense heat and moisture cycles of a dishwasher will cause the wood to warp, crack, or lose its finish, while the microwave will dry out the wood fibers.
