Made 100% from biodegradable sugarcane bagasse, 18oz bowls are ideal for salads or soups. The fibrous composition of the sugarcane bagasse plates might cause "sweating" on the bottom when used with hot liquid food, however the bowl will NOT tear. This item is microwave and freezer safe. BPI-certified compostable product. When properly composted, it should completely decompose/break down in under 180 days. (The actual item may not be in the same color as the above photo.)
