Hand-made by small coastal villages in the pristine Solomon Islands, these Coconut Bowls come from reclaimed coconut shells after their flesh is pressed into Niulife extra virgin coconut oil. Nothing wasted.
These environmentally responsible, reusable and fair-trade bowls come in two external finishes, polished and natural. The inside of the bowl is always polished. Niulife bowls are finished with coconut oil to hydrate, seal and make them shine, no nasty chemicals, lacquers or glues.
Use your bowls at breakfast, lunch, dinner or for snacks but recommend not to use them with anything piping hot.
