I love love love these bowls and the company behind them, which is why I decided to support what they are doing. There’s a really lovely story behind the bowls read on for more info. 

Each coconut bowl set contains one coconut bowl of your chosen design and one reclaimed wooden spoon. They are perfect smoothie bowls, cereals, fruit and yoghurt, salad bowls or even poke bowls!

Company Info

For many years in the Ben Tre region of Vietnam local farmers have made a modest income from selling coconut by-products such as coconut oils and coconut milks. Once the products were harvested the coconut shells and trees were seen as waste and burned to make way for the new crops.

Using the shells to create natural bowls is a practical and environmentally friendly way to utilise existing resources and stop unnecessary burning.

The invention of coconut bowls has also allowed farmers in Ben Tre to make a much needed secondary income, as well as given them the impetus to employ local artists to create carved and patterned bowls.

Jungle Culture is committed to supporting and promoting small and rural manufacturers in developing countries and the are proudly helping create jobs and opportunities for the people living in Ben Tre, whilst also helping in the fight against waste.
