FOOGO Green 10pcs Disposable Palm Leaf Bowls, 8" (20cm) 33.8oz (1000ml), for Soup, Desserts & Salad, Deep Square, Sturdy Eco Friendly Biodegradable, Bamboo, Wooden and Strong Paper Bowls

These aren't going to win much in the way of awards for elegance, but as a practical and environmentally friendly alternative to plastic picnic bowls they're just the thing.Given what they're made out of I was a bit dubious about the soup claim, but the can easily hold boiling liquid for long enough to eat it and then some. As a test I put some boiling water in one a few hours ago and it's still there without any leakage or dampness on the outside whatsoever. The bowl now feels a bit more flexible than it did before but it's still usable as a bowl. Just out of curiosity I put one in the dishwasher to see what would happen. Unsurprisingly, it came out as a single piece of soft material which could be easily folded up and put in the food recycle bin.

The bowls are 18cm and from googling it seems that providers of eco plates and bowls there are some sites where a pack of 50 are the same price as these are selling for a pack of 10, so they seem a bit overpriced. But in terms of the bowls themselves then they are great quality, don't splinter and dont give off a taste onto the food, so won't ruin a meal.

Good sized and shaped bowl. About the size of a Denby style pasta bowl.Used these at a party for serving some of the food items.Impressed with durability. Held liquid based foods without becoming soggy.Durable enough to actually clean out and re-use.So really good for half-way house if you don't know if you may or may not dispose.At around 10GBP for 10 comes in price range for plastic based, durable disposable bowls. Good option if to want to be eco-friendly.

The FOOGO Green Disposable Palm Leaf Bowls are an excellent choice for environmentally-conscious dining. 🌿 These sturdy, biodegradable bowls are perfect for soups, desserts, and salads. Measuring 8 inches (20cm) and holding up to 33.8oz (1000ml), they offer ample space for various dishes. I love that they are made from palm leaves, providing a natural and sustainable alternative to plastic. They’re great for parties or gatherings, ensuring your guests enjoy their meals without harming the environment. Overall, these bowls are a fantastic eco-friendly dining solution!

The product headline description refers to these bowls as bamboo, then later describes them as made from naturally fallen Areca palm leaves. That got me wondering how sustainable they actually are, so I looked up the subject and can confirm that the Areca palm does regularly shed leaves of it's own accord.As for the bowls, they are nice and rigid and should prove good for a variety of hot and cold foods, and also make a nice showpiece container for table snacks like crisps, nuts and olives. They are designed for single use and then disposal (ideally on the compost heap or in food waste recycling). I plan to re-use any that haven't been used for holding greasy/sticky foods though, if they can be rinsed clean and dried easily, for seed sowing trays in spring. It will be an experiment, but they should be okay buried direct in the soil without transplanting any seedlings, since they are recyclable and will break down as seedlings grow and roots penetrate the base.

I love these bamboo bowls. I been using them primarily for salad and have reused a couple a few times as they are so sturdy. They look very aesthetically pleasing and are a good size. They can indeed be used for hot or cold food and heat doesn't seem to be an issue. I love that they are eco friendly and biodegradable. I think the price is reasonable for the quality and I'd recommend.

these throw-away bowls are certainly not palm leave in any way shape or form, they are not 8 inch but are 6.7 inch long -they do hold the food well, for saying their paper made and they do hold hot food too, wouldn't recomend holding them without a tray under if have hot food.Palm leave is a completely diffrent material, you can certainly feel the difference when its palm leave, these are not palm leave their for is false advertised.they are a bowl, but they are made from paper, upon testing the product fully I snapped one before I binned it and its not leaves as you'd expect as advertised its more paper type material, certainly not leafs.Disappointed their not genuine palm leaves. very high in price , should be more to the £1 market than the £12.00 they cost, I got these on the vine programme otherwise they would of certainly gone back.recomended for crisps and one time use, not for any thing further

Good size, well made, functional, easy to use and dispose, good value for money.
