GENERAL

What are the Coconut Bowls from Balu Bowls made of?

They are made from real coconuts which grow on palm trees in Vietnam.

How and where do you produce the coconut bowls?

We are working closely with artisans from Bến Tre in Vietnam. Each coconut is cut, cleaned and finished by them.

My coconut bowls have arrived and they do not look like the pictures on your homepage?

Because our coconut bowls are 100% natural, you will receive a unique coconut bowl. Each bowl is different in its own imperfections, markings, shape and size.

How much volume can fit in a bowl?

Each bowl is unique in its size and shape,  but approximately 500-700 ml will fit in an average original coconut bowl.

Our Jumbo coconut bowls do have a volume of 750-1000 ml.

What are the measurements of a bowl?

Our original coconut bowls have a diameter of 12-15 cm, a volume of 500-700 ml and a depth of 6-7cm.

The Jumbo and Jumbo design bowls have a diameter of 14-16 cm, a volume of 750-1000 ml and a depth of 7-8 cm.

Care Instructions for your Coconut Bowls

How should I clean my Coconut Bowl?

Hand wash with warm soapy water. Do not use in the dishwasher or soak for a long period of time. 

Can I put my Coconut Bowl in the microwave, oven or refrigerator?

No. Please do not use your bowls in the microwave, oven or refrigerator. They are sensitive to extreme temperatures. 

Recommendation:

 
Polish your bowl with virgin coconut oil (feel free to use any other oil you have at home) every 10-20 uses (or as often as you like) to restore the smooth and shiny surface.
Please note that the natural bowl can turn very dark after rubbing it with oil.
