Made 100% from biodegradable sugarcane bagasse, 24oz bowls are perfect for a large volume food like salads or soups. Due to the fibrous composition of the sugarcane bagasse, you may experience "sweating" on the bottom when used in serving hot liquid foods. You may sense warm moisture on the outside of the bowl, but the bowl would not break or 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.)
