Areca Palm Square Bowls

Clean square lines, deep enough for a proper helping — grown by a falling leaf.

Two deep square bowls in fallen areca palm leaf, each one heat-pressed from a single sheath so the wood grain runs differently across every piece. The roomy 16 cm holds a generous salad; the 9 cm cradles soup, dips or snacks. High straight sides keep things neatly contained, with no wax, plastic or PFAS lining.

Frequently asked

What fits the 16 cm versus the 9 cm bowl?

The deep 16 cm square is your main bowl, ideal for leafy salads, grain bowls, pasta or a hearty main. The 9 cm square suits soup, broth, dips, sauces, nuts and small snacks. The high straight sides on both mean you can fill them well without spillage.

Will the bowls hold soup and dressed salad without leaking or going soggy?

Yes. The leaf is naturally oil- and leak-resistant, so warm soup, dressings and oily foods stay put without any wax or plastic coating. The high straight sides add extra reassurance, holding liquids securely right up to a generous fill.

Can I use them in the microwave and freezer?

Both. The bowls are freezer-safe for chilling or storing leftovers, and microwave-safe in short bursts for gentle reheating. With no plastic or PFAS lining, nothing leaches into your food. For the microwave, warm in stages rather than one long blast.

How do I dispose of them, and why does each bowl look different?

They are home compostable, breaking down in roughly 60 to 90 days in a compost heap or garden bed. Each bowl is pressed from one naturally fallen areca palm sheath, so the wood grain, tone and markings are unique to every piece, never printed or uniform.
